(Face to Space Image)
Face to Space ("Two in One," 1982); This abstract illustrates how Attention focused on Space expands awareness of both One Self and the Totality of One's Being: Companion Haiku: Attention focused on Space expands and embraces One's Totality.
Attention focused
On Space expands and embraces
One Self as One Is.
Attention focused
On Space expands to embrace the
Default State of All.
Attention focused
On Space expands to embrace the
Oneness of Being.

Hay-Ku of the Day (Mental Space)
[Rich Note: Companion image may be viewed at rfhay333.gather.com.]
(Form and Space Photograph)
Form and Space (Wickimedia Commons, Date Unknown); Here we have the earth surrounded by space, but is it not also pervaded by that self-same space, which is itself constantly changing with respect to the earths moment to moment location?
The Space between one
Thought and another is the
Consciousness You Are.
[Rich Note: You Are = I Am = All Are = All Is = One Is = God Is (for the Theologically inclined).]

(Perceptual Gap or Unity Photography)
Perceptual Gap or Unity (Reprise, 2009, Wikimedia Commons, Mila Zinkova); This is a “near perfect” representation of the “conceptual gap” between “you and I” (two faces) that “minding the gap between thoughts” can cross and unify (One Vase.
The “Gap” between "one
Thought and another" is a
"Doorway to Heaven."
The “Gap” between "one
Thought and another" is a
"Gateway to Oneness."

Hay-Ku of the Day (Minding the Gap)
[Rich Note: Companion image may be viewed at rfhay333.gather.com.]
(Mind the Gap Photograph)
Mind the Gap (Wikimedia Commons, 2007, Arz): A British rendering of the U.S. “watch your step,” which points to the true nature of “mind as a process” that involves narrowing mental focus and then “minding one thing, while ignoring all others."
“Mind the Gap” between
“One thought and another” and
Resurrect Oneness.
“Mind the Gap” between
"This and that” thought and you'll see
Your Self as You Are.

Hay-Ku of the Day (Knowing I Don't Know)
[Rich Note: Companion image may be viewed at rfhay333.gather.com.]
(Knowledge Photograph)
Knowledge (Wikimedia Commons, Desmman3000);This image points to the discriminatory nature of relative knowledge, the narrow breadth of vision it entails, and the closing of one’s "mental eye" to the "Totality of Present Being” its partialness implies.
“You can know what you
Don’t know, but can’t know what you
Don’t know you don’t know.”
[Rich Note: “The only thing I know is, I don’t know” ~ Socrates.]
[Rich Note: This is a paraphrase of an experiment Charlie Hayes once conducted during a consultation podcast, that was subsequently used as an introductory quote in his new book "Being Awake and Aware" ( view link .]

Hay-Ku of the Day (Carnal Conception)
[Rich Note: Companion image may be viewed at rfhay333.gather.com.]
(One Mind Calligraphy Photograph)
One Mind Calligraphy (Wikimedia Commons, 2007 by Nyo); Although it took a moment to see, when this one clicked it really did made absolute sense; Companion haiku: Mind without mental objects becomes Silent, Still, One, Empty and Open.
Carnal mind can’t be
Without self-referencing
Thought but you can!
Carnal mind without
Self-referencing thought is
A de-fanged serpent.
[Rich Note: Carnal mind is Biblical terminology for the “dualistic, relative, egocentric, self-referencing state of mind and consciousness” that “human beings” all become subject to (as evidenced by self-identification with “me, myself and I” as a linguistic self-reference and confirmed when the word “no” dominates the vocabulary) between the age of two and three.]

Hay-Ku of the Day (Decisions, Decisions)
[Rich Note: Companion image may be viewed at rfhay333.gather.com.]
(Decisions, Decisions Photogarph)
Decisions, Decisions (2009, Wikimedia Commons, derivative work by Agradman); Making decisions serves to reinforce a sense of self-existence; Companion haiku: “Having things to do” is a concept that includes “someone to do them.”
“Decisions to make,
Problems to solve and things
To do” impute “me.”
“Decisions to make,
Problems to solve and things
To do” sustain “me.”
[Rich Note: “Me, myself, I, mind and ego” are equivalent conceptual self-references that could be substituted for “me” in the above offerings.]

[Rich Note: Companion image may be viewed at rfhay333.gather.com.]
(Dirty Business)
Dirty Business (2009, Wikimedia Commons by Michael Rieger; FEMA – 40363); Picture of a FEMA construction crew in Fargo, ND; Companion Haiku: The mind complicates otherwise “dirt simple” Truth to stay in business.
The mind complicates
Otherwise self-evident
Truth to keep its job.
Truth is “dirt simple” --
It’s the mind that complicates
Things to keep its job!

Hay-Ku of the Day (Truth in a Nutshell)
[Rich Note: Companion image may be viewed at rfhay333.gather.com.]
(Truth in a Nutshell Photograph)
Truth in a Nutshell (2006, Wikimedia Common’s by AndonicO); A take-off on Stephen Hawking’s considerably more complex, bottom's-up, outside-in, scientifically based, theoretically physics title, "The Universe in a Nutshell"; Companion haiku: "Being Is, You Are That and Everything is Fine,"unless “you think not.”]
Truth in a Nutshell:
"Being Is, You Are That and
Everything is Fine"!
[Rich Note: Based on an extremely simple, rather “matter-of-factly presented” (as if that’s all one really needed to remember -- inspite of the all the mind's protests to the contrary), John Wheeler, non-duality-pointer offered during the second of four "Urban Guru Cafe" interviews (#21); ( view link ).]

Hay-Ku of the Day (Suffering's Source)
[Rich Note: Companion image may be viewed at rfhay333.gather.com.]
(Stop Light Photograph)
Stop Light (2009-Wickimedia Commons); Next to the Motor Vehicle Bureau itself, a favorite mental non-resistance/patience-practicing device; Companion Haiku: Resisting “What Is” reinforces a sense of separate being.
Mental resistance
To “What Is” is the root of
Human suffering
Resisting “What Is”
Is guaranteed to frustrate
The hell out of us.
