Ga te Ga te, Pa ra Ga te,
Pa ra sam Ga te,
Bodhi Swaha
Impermanent are all created things;
Strive on with awareness
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“In my opinion…”
Underused
and often confused with fact
--but this is ‘in my opinion’
since nothing can be defined
In the absence of everything
[waiting alone in the wisdom of emptiness]
and yet,
we adhere to each other and ourselves
in a false pretense of significance;
an existence not so separate
but often
in its mistaken effort at permanence
--a filtered point of awareness
burned to the wick
of seemingly contradicting do’s and don’ts
exemplifying the pretense of time
between ashes to ashes
and dust to dust
and the realization
before reality presents itself as it is

Yes, everything exists for everything to exist i believe... all things part of a whole. We seem to have become detached from this Whole consciously with the invention of modern time... consciousness displaced. We have been removed from our natural(consciousness expanding) State and boxed in by belief limmited by the pretence of certainty, to claim we know. Time and space outweigh our ability to understand the infinite... knowing does not confine itself to thoughts. Lots to ponder! Thank-you for taking the time to enter my contest

I truly appreciate your comment!!!! and I am most glad that my expressed ideas were seemingly understood. It makes me happy when I give something for someone else to ponder and they take time to look for the intended meaning.
Best Wishes
