No Matter Where You Go, There You Are

by Tom Skiens (AKA, 'Foxtrot'), 1988

The words of Jesus tell us
The same as Confucius and Lao Tzu
Einstein developed a formula
That proves what we already knew

There is a basic unity to all things
All things inseparable from the whole
We attempt to isolate through intellect
Only with intuitive inclusion can we know

The one is in all
The all is in one
We begin at the ending
And end where we started from

Zen and Zazen glory
The new born
Cosmic experience to employ
Silent horn

Flower to seed
Seed to flower
Give to receive
Let go to gain power

The way of Physics
The Bible and the Tao
The Dakota and the Zen
What was then is now

The creative forces form a body
Those same forces make up the soul
The spaces between are alive
With ever changing motion and flow
