... Try to Explain the Moth to the Flame...



Freedom is the discord of oneness


Freedom is the unity of chaos


Freedom is the answerless question


Freedom is the mystery of being...


The mystery is inside us


The mystery is outside us


The mystery is within and beyond


The mystery is always just yonder...


This being


This thing called being


This experience of being


This act of being


This being


It is a delicate thing


A delicate confusion


A delicate marvel


A torment of hope


A true unknowing...


True innocence is knowing all


Yet life exists in the unknown...


To live is to be in conflict...



... Try to Explain the Moth to the Flame... is a collection of short descriptive writings by author Dave McKinnis, offering personal reflections upon the simple mysteries interwoven through the everyday experience of being.
