Space

between the centre and circumference
of the circle of existence
is space

it is that space that defines the circle
and everything else, as without it there is nothing,
no centre or emanating radius and no circumference,
therefore no form/circle --
space is that necessary something which defines all things

now consider that a jar is only useful due to the space it contains
as is a house, we live in the space, not the walls, roof or floor
and yet space is ignored or at best taken for granted
but it fills/saturates the void,
its emptiness is vital to existence

and so emptiness is the essential component
which exalts all things, including man

what occurs if we turn our minds to that 'emptiness'?
we know that emptiness is something and
thoughts are things/formations, structures of the mind,
thoughts are not the space in which they form

you have noticed that space is consistent, unvarying
there is not this or that space, only one space that permeates
all existence and so that space has meaning, as it is the substrate
that carries every-thing

if you wish to find meaning then enter the space between thoughts
and you would discover wonder, something truly special
and if you hold that for a duration then thought itself subsides
leaving only awareness and perfect clarity in which all vexations
and problems are solved/dissolve, as space defines everything --
only in that infinite space is true freedom and Perfection found

surely it now becomes the height of foolishness
to underrate or not address/embrace that unpolluted,
continuous perfection?

there is so much more to it than here indicated
but you must discover its wonders for yourself
