The Stillness Before Time
Reflections From a Fellow Sojourner
Michael J. Holshouser
What is written here
Has been spoken, written, and lived
By many in many times and places in human history.
Ever disguised by innumerable masks, costumes, concepts, and technologies,
Its mysterious nature has timelessly confused and frightened
Those unable to discern beneath the surface.
This aphoristic vision is simply another attempt,
Using contemporary masks, costumes, concepts, and technologies,
To illustrate in thought something as old as old is,
That which has ever yet never been.
It is for those who desire nothing from this manifest dream
But that it be a journey into freedom.
Best wishes.

There is really only one Way. It is without division or boundary. It is without name or theology. Awareness is its scripture, Here now, its venue, You, its witness, Your life, the journey. |
