INFINITESIMAL DOT

  AN INFINITESIMAL DOT You read me well In the words I write What you call my “poetry” You see beyond My eyes Expressionless Yes I leave behind bit and pieces Of me On  white pages of reality Dreams fulfilled Hopes lost and gained again Who I am And Who I was sent to be Left to dance alone Silently An infinitesimal   dot In Eternity    
— Geremia, Mar 20, 2009

You will insist on having us in tears

The dot.........s you make are not dots insignificant and if you think that they are................? Your eyes expressionless, no they have the little touch of humour, the deep sensitivity to the world about you and the wisdom that vanquishes pain. I feel exactly the same in spite of this, I am no more important than the fly on the window and am completely happy to be of no more consequence in this strange and wonderful world we have the luck to be able to take part in, for the time we survive in it. After that, well who cares, as we are not here to see, and our consciouness is gone with the rest. A squashed fly. So what? However it makes for some powerful poetry and that is no dot, it lives on and can touch the hearts of those who follow and give them so much, don't you think? Ann of Norway

The infinitesimal dot called

The infinitesimal dot called *I* expands to forever and beyond... That's nonduality 101. The alpha and the omega. Shiva-Shakti. All and nothing. Smile. ~A "We have to try to get rid of the notion of time. And when you have an intense contact of love with nature or another human being, like a spark, then you understand that there is no time and that everything is eternal." Paulo Coelho

That is all we can do is leave 'dots' for others to see. It's up to us to make those dots extraordinary, and your poetry does that well. ~Jess K. ---------------------------------------------------- -"The truth is, it doesn't matter what you do.
