Aye

It’s like a big blank screen

with a blinking cursor in it

waiting for you to type—

.

but no matter how much

you type

the cursor keeps blinking

winking

.

because that’s life

that’s us…

.

a joke without a punchline

.

a shot long in the blank

.

a rolling stone made of moss

.

the cud God is chewing…

And all the people you meet are but different bodies of yourself

the same depthless presence we are—

.

we cannot give anything to each other that we do not already have

we can trigger highs and lows with a vengeance but ultimately

we are all the same one thing interacting with itself

.

the possibility of our interactions is the payoff

the joy of creation is the payoff

the singular moments of our encounters is the payoff

giving yourself chances is the payoff

.

it all happens here

there is nowhere else

but here.

All of our efforts in life
all of our exploits
all our mental
emotional capital accrued
funnel into this moment

Always have been
Always will be

Our experience of this moment
is the reward that we get
for our endeavors

This is it
This is the pay off
This moment is all there is
