WOA: Metamorphia, Smallest Natural Satellite of Ced’a-meon
Space Shuttle Atlantis (OV-104)
Contours of Relief
All empires are doomed,
either by their own ambitions
or by those of another.
To Take Shelter Is To Give It
Like breath in the wind,
the disillusioned see not
the three gems within.
Empirical
Through recognition that the non-subtle body experiences the universe through chemical processes comes realization of its dependencies and empirical limitations.
Mossy Turkey Tails
Canopy Shade
Vortex of Volition
Finger swirl,
temporal whirl
around center
not really there,
atop a vast
placid ocean.
Dance done,
dissipation,
the aggregates
of self,
into time’s motion
and a spatial sea
sublime.
Ti-lakkhana (the three characteristics of existence)
All conditioned things are impermanent, All conditioned things are unsatisfactory, All things are without Self… When one sees this with wisdom, One turns away from suffering. This is the path to purification.
Sabbe sankhārā anicca, Sabbe sankhārā dukkhā, Sabbe dhammā anattā… ti yadā paññāya passati, atha nibbinsati dukkhe; esa maggo visuddhiyā
