“The Power of a Black Dot”
Painting by John Diamond, M.D.
Simple
and Still,
and Infinite.
A dot is still and simple and infinite.
Consider a black dot – singular – on a sheet of white paper.
So seeming simple, so seeming still. Yet it seems to emanate everywhere – is infinite.
The major difference between white and black is that white has dissipated all the colors within, but black still contains them – waiting.
So the dot’s emanation from all the colors still within.
The power of that black dot in the expanse of white: balanced yin and yang. It controls the whole area as a seeming insignificant chess pawn at QP4. It is like an atom in the sense of the power held within it.
A black dot
an enso
filled with Light.
