there is nothing there
THERE IS NOTHING THERE
in six movements, remembering Osho
Know: three equals three
only for those who live alone.
(1) ARE
Are you devoted to putting
things in order as a ticket to eternity?
Border residents also have borders.
Everything comes from the night,
there is nothing there.
(3) CHERISH
Cherish the past, what we shared.
Fingerprints in the sands
of our memory.
Leave everything you know behind.
Nobody has to follow us.
(4) EMPTINESS
Emptiness in your hand
from which everything springs,
where everything flows back to.
Emptiness in your hand
is everything in your hand.
(5) PUT
Put the world on hold.
Nothing still moves.
You don't miss anything.
Everything disappears.
There is no end to it.
(2) THROW
Throw invitations into the air.
They end up, or they don’t.
Gueests show up, or not.
It is good
when things are uncertain.
(6) SONS
Sons return to their fathers,
grains to the green,
seeds to the fire.
Everything becomes what it already was:
desert people remain desert people.
