time, space and zen

the young monk asks:
be kind o ancient Zen master,
tell us what is space?
what about time?

lifting the corners of the mouth
towards heaven,
reply comes with a smile
so serene:

witness the infinitely present presence,
time has no meaning hence.

all moments are concealed inside Now.
this enlightenment is the Way, the Tao.

space is nothing
but illusionary forms.
lo, it's only emptiness
that revolves.
