   Hello. One here, without the big letter oh.   
   Me being me of all people, naturally.   
      
   Does the One exist.   
   Beyond all Duality.   
      
   Is a noun, Reality, in charge   
   of which beings get to be as two be.   
      
   How mad are the angry individuals who see   
   what isn't seen by those who make the scene seen.   
      
   Once upon a time there was a blind man who   
   picked up his hammer and saw. He, being him   
   of all people began to saw the branch he was   
   sitting on, given: the Tree.   
      
   The Great Tree branches.   
      
   Usually, one has little to no interest in a debate.   
   And yet, two converse, naturally with interest.   
      
   Sometimes there are many. Ontologically   
   with non-duality one ceases as being   
   a form of even Nonbeing.   
      
   At times a compound increases.   
   Chemical additives vary.

   >to want to accept the possibility that so-called 'Mad' people might   
   >automatically be closer to an enlightened state than average people are   
   >because average people have farther to travel...   
      
   One has no recollection of such a seam   
   which appears to have weaved its way.

   Inside.   
   Outside.   
   Coins vary.   
      
   Some people tend to end up and down   
   where so-called normal people never tread.   
      
   Being able to stay afloat given a consensus reality   
   could be called a blessing, a gift as it were of   
   the Great Present, as a thing unfolds.

   Tommy didn't know what day it was.   
      
   Correct and incorrect emerge, naturally.   
      
   Who is.   
   Two say.   
      
   - thanx! Cheers!
