Making the invisible visible...
Over the hols,My balcony Buddha
Became enlightened
For all to see.
It might be blinding,
But NOW, like Neo,
He's finding
It's also binding...
He can't go back
To the not-knowing
Or the not-caring.
NOW, all he thought
He knew
Is new NOW...
And he's new NOW
With new purpose
And even new gravity...
NOW.
I say NOW,
But we all know
The original Buddha's
NOW was a very long time ago.
And still, it's NOW...
Because once we're
Blinded by the Light,
We're always all revved up
Like a deuce,
Another runner in the night...
Seeking.
Being.
Here.
NOW.
For all to see.
And mostly...
To see ourselves.
...
If this isn't nice, what is?
~ Kurt Vonnegut, of course
