Burnt Forest

Chapter Three

Noticing the details of God’s gift is a gift to God.

The depth of detail leads to the point of nothingness.

God gives a gift. I return the gift by looking deeply. And both God and I know the endpoint is nothingness. We also know it is a starting point.

The receiving and returning, the deep look, the discovery of nothingness, the new starting point: The dynamic happens and happens and happens and, at the same time, doesn’t happen, doesn’t happen, doesn’t happen.

The truth of what is going on is impossible to know since the knower and the known are That. That what? It’s impossible to say.
