Who is weaving?

June 10, 2018

 

I have seen this,

That each thing comes at its own time,

That there is a moment that arrives unexpectedly,

There is no preparing for it

Asleep or awake the moment arrives

That in that instant

Everything and all action and all being are concentrated.

 

I have seen this

That there is a form that persists

That the components of that form

The particles, the quanta of energy

Are in constant flow

Here and then gone

And yet the form remains.

 

I have seen this

That the threads have been spun out

Each in its own context

Each with its own color and texture

Each at its own time

And that there seems to be no relationship

And that each seems a separate entity.

 

I have seen this

That at the moment

Arriving from who knows where

From within or beyond

The infinite number of individual threads

Without any thought or effort

Coalesce into a new form unimagined.

 

What is it that says

“I have seen”

What is the form

When is the moment

Of what is a thread constituted

What energy works

Who weaves

How is it to be comprehended?
