Cream, Two Sugars, Please

Within… Fullness, Completion, and Bliss,
Without… She prefers milk chocolate to dark.

Within… nothing can be added, nothing taken away,
Without… everything comes to Her, and goes.

Within… Unmoving, Ineffable Sublimity,
Without… She experiences ever changing manifestation.

Within… joy and sorrow have never been,
Without… She Shines, even in the midst of tears.

Within… time and space have never existed,
Without… She is born, grows old, and dies.

Within… within and without never were,
Without… within and without ever are.

Within… no preferences, propensities, proclivities,
Without… cream, two sugars, please.

Within… The Sun Shines,
Without… All is Illumined.
