Emptiness Cafe by Susan Kahn
Emptiness Cafe
Life moves
Like shadow and light,
Instantaneously appearing,
Though I cannot find time itself.
Cities mirrored in thought,
Nothing standing alone.
There is no seer without the seen,
No thought without thing.
Subject and object inter-rise.
Feelings, perceptions, none self-made.
Not even the heart
Lights its own flame.
The separate self departs.
There are sensations, conversations,
Aromatic contemplations,
But no I to claim
This emptiness cafe.

Exquisitely beautiful and profound-what a gift!
One of my all time favorite sites and blogs– emptiness teachings shared with scholarly depth, cultivation and Susan Kahn’s typical down -to -earth, humble manner that is so very warm and appealing as comes from nothing but pure love.
Many thanks, in gratitude,

I like that, “Not even the heart Lights its own flame.” Because that which lights the heart, is what the heart loves….
