Zero

Non-duality is a lie. Duality is a lie. This multifaceted crystal creation is a beautiful lie for the sake of love. There is neither one nor two. There is only zero. Only this empty vibrant  zero bubbling over with photons and selves, mushrooms and fur, scents of jasmine and honeysuckle, tears the size of planets, eyes like swirling galaxies, each with a black hole at its center, full of love. The brilliant light of astonishment is all there is. The cosmos bursts into flower and dissolves in the brilliant light of astonishment, now. The bridal chamber of the Beloved is the very form of this moment. Surrender and be held. One breath is more than enough.
