Hay-Ku of the Day (Zero Mental Distance)

At “Zero Distance”
And “Infinite Focal Length”
Only “One Remains.”

At “Zero Distance”
And “Infinite Focal Length” 
I Am “All There Is.”

At “Zero Distance”
And “Infinite Focal Length” 
I Am “One and All.”

At “Zero Distance”
And “Infinite Focal Length” 
I Know “‘I AM THAT.”

[Rich Note: From a short biography of DE Harding at the link that follows the excerpt:

“One day Harding stumbled upon a drawing by the Austrian philosopher and physicist Ernst Mach (1838-1916). It was a self-portrait – but a self-portrait with a difference. Most self-portraits are what the artist looks like from several feet – she looks in a mirror and draws what she sees there. But Mach had drawn himself without using a mirror – he had drawn what he looked like from his own point of view, from zero distance.” (See Related drawing by Mach.)]
