White On White

When one looks out through the senses,

one is, in fact, looking into a mirror.

The mind is a mirror that reflects only

what the senses will allow.

Polishing the mirror, as they say in Zen,

is the path to enlightenment,

or, as the hippies would say, 

turning on the love light,

looking back out from the void…

as Suzuki Roshi put it, something like;

“You” is the swinging door between 

what you perceive and the void…

not much, really, also everything,

(sorry not sorry).
