SHACK 3 ON THE WAY

Sharon Aldrick

The shattering truth of the naked mind just before it is stripped it is stripped of naked thought, and the thought of being a mad raving maniac living a stark cold dead dark world, running wild and bare to the bones, causes a swinging, a pendulum between the ego finding itself to be unreal, a mere software programme, desperately battling the surrender and capitulation to the seeming dark void of nothingness, and yet in that struggle to avoid emptiness, there are glimpses, tantalizing glimpses, subtle nuances of a beauty, a serenity, a peace and tranquility, a heavenly balm, the Siren's call of enlightenment.

Then the struggling, straining, peeling of the onion, dragging the feet, down the slippery slope and abandonment of the known, finally coming to nowhere--------and all is very, very well.
