Dr Joy Philippou MBE in ‘Meditation Poems’ brings zest and a love of life to a modern way of quiet reflection, resolving what might seem this paradox in a way that is uniquely hers.
POEM

The Burning Bush

Indescribable waves of visible energy:
Sensuous contact with the living Void
Plays havoc with long cherished logical structures
Which suddenly refuse to function.
Acute perception of Being
Where Reality and Unreality merge or change places.
My body sheds its materiality.
Solidity was an illusion.
We grab at hallucinations of our own making,
And experience Void in Motion and staggering Radiance.
Stumbling upon the Ultimate insight
That Science Fiction is no fiction
And all things merge through electronic Friction.
Conscious of Being Conscious
I no longer think,
Therefore I AM !
