Freedom

Nothing is part of me.

Nothing will ever be part of me.

Nothing has ever been part of me.

There is nothing that I can get that will be added to me.

There is nothing that I lack.

Mirror With No Reflection

Time passes slowly

Amidst the emptiness

With no need for doing or having

Contented & fulfilled by the nothing

Feeling this present moment

Not centered in my head

The future has passed away

I Saw the Sky Today

I saw the sky today

clouds moving slowly

coming together to meet each other.

A peaceful feeling

knowing my life is much like that.

Me, lying here, the sky above

I close my eyes and feel

the sun warming my body, my face.

Thank you for the sky, the peace

which is me.

I open my eyes and again find the sky

the peace that I am not separate from.

The sky that is above and below

here radiating as part of myself.

How simple this peace is

reflecting, being the still, unnamable presence,

not separate from my wholeness,

appearing as my perception of the sky.

So unexpected, this moment coming to me.

I name this unnamable wholesness - the sky.

The Way Things Change

Feelings of loss are attachments

during their gestation period.

Enigma

Tell me,

In an embrace,

What

gets closer

to

What?

Disappearance of Difference

Traveling among family — strangers,

Apart from human recognition of difference,

I am all other human images, without distinction.

God is what you get

when you completely stop trying

to make the situation

be the way you want it to be.
