Nothingness

The Seeker, then,
is never free from the quest;
who turns restlessly and endlessly about
the Majesty of the Divine,
who consumes us and offers 
the gift of nothingness.
No reason can comprehend the Divine.
The Curandero* who lived 
down the road always told us, 
Recognize what is in your breath.

*A curer and healer who uses folk remedies
and ritual practices. He was kind and wise
and a mentor to my friends and me.

From: Short Poems On How We Ramble
