Full Stop

The poem "Full Stop" invites the reader into a deep reflection on stillness and the illusion of continuity created by the mind. It calls for surrendering the need for certainty and embracing the emptiness that paradoxically reveals fullness. Through the act of stopping, one is led to recognize the ever-present, complete nature of just This, where all desires are fulfilled by simply being.

stop and be still,
see nothing is happening,
apparent continuity,
an illusion of frames
linked together
by a mind in time.

stop and surrender
to the freefall
of not knowing,
fall off the edge
of certainty and
lean back into nothing.

stop and be filled,
empty fullness
of just This,
adding nothing
reveals home and
fulfills all desires.

stop. full stop.
