A Big question mark

by Ashok Sharda

 

 

 

Seeing isn’t possible

Without an eye

               A touch

               A sensing instrument.

 

Scene isn’t 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?

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.

and yet we do...it's the nature of the beast, darling.

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.

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!

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)
