One Singular Experience 
 
The actual experience of the moment 
Is always singular 
Whether it is the tying of a shoelace 
Or the sight of a million stars 
The experience is immediate 
And always whole 
This singular experience 
Requires no thought 
Ideation or emotion 
To be 
Just as the tree requires no words to grow 
And the bird needs no plan to sing 
Life needs nothing but itself 
To live in this simple immediacy 
Is truly being awake to the moment 
Without the aid of past 
Without any fragmentation through words 
Without attaching any prior meaning or purpose 
The moment is fully alive 
And there is no me separate from it at last
