Comprehensive: Everything and Nothing

Have I finally lost
My sanity?
I have found an intriguing practice*
That involves visualization,

Interacting with one’s daemons,
And feeding them
Until they fade
And become allies.

Mostly
I’ve been feeding shark-like creatures
Until they thin out
And transform.

My mind has conjured up a team:
A female protector,
A horse, and a bear;
What next, I’ll tell you:

One day, while I was
Ruminating on my plight
The Bear said,
‘Try seeing things my way!’

To which the Horse added
‘You tell it, Bear!’
And so I traded places
And now see how this works:

This practice is said to reveal
The inherent emptiness
Of all phenomena, and so it does!
How fascinating!
Not to mention, entertaining.
Am I faking?
You decide.
