Meaning

Meaning is not something we can get to with our minds;
it is not an answer found in the mind. – A. H. Almaas

All my life I have been seeking
 Answers, insight, understanding, meaning
I have never been able to be here
 I haven’t been here for a second
My mind thinks about being here
 So it’s not, it’s elsewhere

Poor creature, water runs downhill!
 Here will fill you up
For a thousand years after
 You can blabber on and on
And never empty the well

I tell you
My heart finally let my mind
Taste an atom of its sweetness
Where it went, I do not know
But it isn’t here
