I am removed from self
Removed from heart
Removed from this world
.
Empty void once self
Empty void heart
Empty void this world
.
Nothingness all self
Nothingness all heart
Nothingness all this world
.
Perception is not the self
Perception is not heart
Perception is not this world
.
Eternally removed from self
This empty void is heart
Nothingness all this world
Perception of the empty void nothing
.
No self
No heart
No world
.
Empty
.
Removed
.
Nothingness all same no one

So sad Bear are you okay. I care I am very wary of nothingness. xxxxx

I’m OK. Your response is sadness? That helpless to do anything feeling makes me sad, too. π¦
But nothingness is not sad, it is not everything plus everything π Anything that all encompassing great empty all is flagged with big cautions signs and a certain amount of danger. Wary is a good idea. The Void is not to be jumped into casually or without awareness … and anchors are needed (depending on … whatever).
Thank you for your thoughtfulness and caring and so much more, dear Willow XXXX

The poem’s final arrival left me alienated from impulse in a cynical detachment from the messiness of life. Shelley suffered the same.

Do you suffer so?
Nothingness does include the cycles of suffering but also the not suffering. The empty aspect of “cynical” is quite hopeful as it is inclusive of nothing. π Being removed from pain and suffering is quite lovely. Pain, suffering and whatnot are always about, even for the enlightened
The reference to Shelley warms me.
40 odd years ago I knew a family named Keim. In Tallahassee. The elders would be about 90, now. π
