Such A Surreal Surprise

I now know after so much not knowing
that what I know is not worth knowing
except to my knowing that what I know
is not only not acceptable it is worth nothing

But once I have come to know this I accept
that nearly everyone I knew before I knew them
realized that the fact of knowing
is in the long run and the short run

unknowable... once you know this
you enter into a zone of inexplicable relief
because your soul as a concentrated enigma
always searching for the darkened answer

is a cosmic joke giving you a wondrous happiness
from the fact that the soul ... at least in this endeavor
is worthless .. and you .. released from the soul searching
can move with ease along the swift stream

of unknowing .. a so delightful experience
where you need not have a beginning
and can cast your memory away forever
and be what you have always wanted

but never knew until now realizing
hello everybody .. is a salutation
that is meaningless and at the core of truth
and here you are .. how can you be so lucky?

FYI rudeness won't be tolerated in the Loners Group. I'm thinking that an apology to dweller may be in order here.

Pretty much of utmost importance. On the other hand, recognizing the importance of everybody is at the core of truth... but that goes back to all souls coming from the Source, so we're all kin!

I like writing that makes me think!
