Arisings in the mind

can be explained…

laid out and dissected by theories.

The truth encapsulated,

or fond belief maintained.

Once perceived, recognised… known,

Reality escapes… forever elusive.

Explanations breed theory,

fossilised ideas negating

the breathing complexity

of Life which denies and affirms

all hypotheses simultaneously.

We seek to capture the fleeting images and

sensations, and imprison them in

classifications, concepts and labels.

The very boxes in which we place them

are imagined also.

All is impermanent, and the only meanings

we create are manufactured and limited.

Far better then to live without theories;

without the prison bars of conceptual frameworks,

and to move with shifting meanings.

Not holding on… but enjoying the journey.
