Six Notebooks

The Sun is the Heart 
“Your sun, for example, is as important to you as your heart.”  Richard Lang 
The sun is as important as the heart 
Or the bacteria in the gut is as important as the sun 
The ten thousand things bear 
No ranking of importance 
There is no this without that 
There is no this without 
Ten thousand thats 
This this is just 
The culmination of every 
Single that that has come before 
To say this results 
From one single that– 
Is to lose every thing 
To this and not this 
To separate with a knife 
Any this from any this 
Loses the world 
We are not atoms 
In an empty universe 
Wandering lonely 
As a cloud 
Or a single blade of grass 
But in a cloud 
Or in a blade of grass 
Can be found everything 
The distinction and 
The interconnectedness 
Sun heart bacteria 
A river from and to 
Without a pause
