My body hollows out to reveal a zone beyond space and time
Beyond the contours of causation
Beyond grief, ecstasy, happiness, unhappiness
Beyond desire, anxiety, pleasure, pain
Beyond perfection, imperfection
Beyond the unknown beyond
Immersed in sublime transcendence
All pervasive, all encompassing

A unique state of existence
Where my body has ceased to exist
My mind non-functional
As I surf the gentle waves
Emanating from a vast ocean
To which I belong
And which is truly my real identity
