Within You And Without You

 Breathing connects our inner experience

to the outer world. What we call “me” is

the fluid movement between the two.

It occurs quickly, expeditiously enough

to seem continuously real, like a movie.

Life goes on within you as the interface

of sense perceptions, including the mind

itself, with what the mind perceives, the

mind as the creator/interfacer/interpreter,

and without you/“there is no you, there is

only That.” (Yoda?)

Life drinks and goes home.
