Then it occurs to me that being without perturbation is
A state of feeling that symbols and words create me
As I draw symbols and words from myself.
Consciousness interprets what the senses perceive,
Each impression conditioned by past interpretations —
Mutual invention and mutual reinvention, self-emerging.
Mind impels experience;
Experience impels mind.
Self-creation without beginning or end:
A flower always blooming, a new petal for each lost.
