Nothing

ByMartyn

There’s nothing to do
Nothing to think
Nothing to drop
Nothing to see
Nothing to follow

There’s no plan
No strategy

There’s nothing to believe
Nothing to hold on to
And nothing to let go of

There’s nothing to hope for
No future to come
No past to understand

There’s no right
And no wrong
No bad
And no good

Everything is negated
And transcended
In this
Unspeakable
Unknowable
Reality

Nothing that should be
Nothing that should not
No needs
No musts

Nothing ought
To look
Or be
Or feel
A certain way
To be right
Or not wrong
Or complete
Or true

It is
Simply

But this can also be the back door to re-identification and the denial of the miraculous and mystical truth of being. Yes,…

    Forgive It All

    ByMartyn

    Awakening is an ongoing unfoldment of potentials and nothing in particular is guaranteed to stop or go away, even though some things might. It’s the ongoing acceptance, patience, and forgiveness of whatever arises or happens that marks healthful embodiment. But also the true and deep acceptance that anything CAN happen and that nothing that DOES…

  • We Don’t Know

    ByMartyn

    We don’t know what we’re going to do or what’s going to happen. We can only speculate. It’s knowing that we don’t know that’s the trick. And it might be that this constitutes powerlessness. But it also amounts to freedom from the need to control. There’s this deep mystery around what we ‘choose’ to do….
