YET MORE ELUCUBRATIONS ON THE VERB TO BE
When I come
to be able to
not speak, then
I'll be - although,
(being a Christian not a Zen Buddhist)
I believe
to be is to be in relation -
to be perceived -
esse est percipi, and hence -
not speaking and therefore
not in relation
with you and you and you,
I will find either
not-being (sunyata) or
God.
