Students Share: Conundrum

by L. Kip Dooley, Diamond Approach student in the Midwest Group 2

something large
is trying to live through
something small

the "I am"
is in the flow,
while the "I-can't-possibly-be"
thinks it's drowning

the only sense
to be made
is through
the stillness

the vacuous
centering point
of blackness

where the ceasing
lives untouched
by the unceasing.
