The Fact of Simple Occurrence

When we compare on the basis of assumptions of mind 
We divide the world into good and bad 
Suddenly there is so much discrepancy between people 
Between things as they are and as they should be 
But as we become interested in what is common between us 
We go beyond form and boundaries 
We find basic aliveness the common factor in all humans and all so called living things 
But when we look at a rock or a rotting branch  
We find that the rock and the hand that holds it are made of the same thing 
The rock occurs the same way a human body occurs 
The fact of occurrence or happening is common to all forms 
And occurrence just simply occurs
