Superman Clark

In ‘All Star Superman: Volume 1’ by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely,
Superman tries to convince Lois Lane
that he is Clark Kent,
that he is not different from him.

Just as Clark didn’t pretend to be Superman,
Superman didn’t pretend to be Clark.
They are one and the same,
even if they seem different.

Not dualistically two,
but non-dualistically one.
Not even two sides of the same coin,
but simply is the whole coin.

I used this example
as a ‘super’ off-tangent illustration
of how ‘form is not different from emptiness’
during my Heart Sutra class last night!
