ここにあるのは、ひとつ
すべてである…
切り離され存在するものは何一つない
あなたと、私の呼吸は、並行する
あなたの生起、吐息、私の吐息は、並行する
雲がゆく、連動し、吾々が動くく
吾々は並行し太陽をこきゅする
私が書き殴る
「the now is」
その他すべての「ありよう」
同時、並行する
「いま」連動する「いま」あれ「いま」それ
、す消を字文クーョチ
、るず出え萌が芽の庭
…るす行並
すべて知る必要もなく、
すべて無視するも、ありも、なくも、
どうでも良くも、思うも、思わずも、
並行する
賢者の知恵だろうと
卓上の埃だろうと、並行する、
並行する、
あなたのくしゃみ、涙、
思いが、
太陽を動かす、
PARALLEL CONCEPT
What is here is one thing:
that is everything,
nothing exists apart from that:
Your inhale and my exhale are parallel:
My inhale and your life is parallel:
Clouds move, we all are in parallel:
Our breathing move the Sun in parallel:
My writing "the now is" is and all others in parallel:
"The now is" in here and "the now is" elsewhere is parallel:
My erasing chalk writing and my garden sprout in parallel:
Without needing to know all, nor ignore all is parallel:
The wonders of this world and the tabletop dust are parallel:
that is everything,
nothing exists apart from that.
Hiroshi Kariya, 1977, 1987, 1997, 2007, 2017
