A Big question mark by Ashok Sharda
Seeing isnt possible
Without an eye
A touch
A sensing instrument.
Scene isnt possible
Without a shape
A color
A seer
Scene transmutes
With the change in the mood
In the shape
A situation
I conclude,
If there is a something
Unrelative
Unchanging
Objective
Then
In a sense, there is a nothing
Relative
Changing
Subjective
Then
Why should I
Insist upon having seen
Having known
Having realized
Something known as truth?

Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 03/24/03 at 03:30 AM Hmmm...a bit hard on the head at 10:30 at night, but I really like how this progresses/evolves. Definitely something to sleep on. |

Posted by Quentin S Clingerman on 03/26/03 at 03:08 AM The question is the answer! If there is "something...objective". And if it can be "known". Then that IS truth! You give thought for meditation. |
Posted by Anne Engelen on 03/27/03 at 03:55 PM mmmm...I was ready to comment, and even before I got the words on this screen my thoughts took me to another level and changed my view. I guess this piece need no more comments as it is. It speaks for itself! |

Posted by Agnes Eva on 05/06/03 at 02:32 AM perhaps because we all shape our unique realities with what we choose to see, with what scenes we tap into. there is simply too much to be aware of one subjective whole (unless you're Big Genious Person with Global Vision) |
