nothing is perfect
- nothing doesn’t change
- nothing isn’t dukkha
- nothing depends on nothing
believe in nothing
on seeing no reason to believe in
any assertion of ultimate truth,
believe in nothing as much as
direct experience of what is
or seems to be: this being
to experience this being as being aware of being
is
to experience nothing as other than the present
the present presents perception of
sensation, emotion, and thought
ebbing and flowing,
coming and going,
arriving and leaving,
arising and ceasing …
endlessly flowing into and out of awareness
experience nothing as other
than this miracle – the present – and see
that only in the mind does anything
or anyone exist as somehow apart
from the rest of what is
no one is as they are thought to be
other than in the mind
nothing is as it is thought to be
believe in nothing:
just be and let be
live and let live with
love, compassion,
joy, and equanimity
believe in nothing and do no more
than need be done to be and let be
believing more and doing more
may do such harm as to mean
no human being survives the
man-made mass extinction
manifest in the present
believe in nothing
and do no harm
be well
