Hay-Ku of the Day (Feeling I Am)

[Rich Note: Companion image may be viewed at rfhay333.gather.com.]

(Reflected States of Being)

Reflected States of Being © 2008 RFHay; Being can be metaphorically equated to the physical actualities represented in this image and its reflection in the water as relative states of that self-same Being; Companion haiku: “Try to feel what it means to be, just be, without self-reflective thought."

“Try to feel what it
Means to be” prior to any
Concept of Being."

Try to feel what it
Means to be, just be, without
Being "this or that."

[Rich Note: Abbreviated versions inspired by the following Sri Nisargadatta, “I AM THAT” pointer: “Our usual attitude is ‘I am this’ or ‘that’. Separate consistently and perseveringly the ‘I am’ from ‘this’ or ‘that’ and try to feel what it means to be, just to ‘be’, without being ‘this’ or ‘that’.” ]
