Is there learning,
That is so direct, and so alive,
That it only generates itself?
Like a flame that consumes its own burning,
Like a sound that is heard, that is vibrating, within itself.
Not when it’s heard, that is already after.
Is there learning of a tree?
Of a cloud?
Of the whole universe?
Is there anything that is not pure learning -
Of itself, by itself, for no reason whatsoever?
Isn’t life, and learning, the same word?
And you, and life, and learning,
Is it the same thing?
And can you be free from any concept of learning?
Can you not know what learning is?
And learn, that is-
Find out, without knowing.
Is there a contradiction here?
Or is there a contradiction in learning with knowing?
Because whenever knowledge is,
Learning ends.
Whenever an answer is given,
The question fades.
Can a question merge, within the space of not knowing, and come to be?
Not, be answered,
Not, be asked,
Reveal itself, within the space of not knowing.
