to sit,
in stillness,
with open heart
is truly the act of awakening..

open to the wonder,
pain and vicissitudes of daily life,
the path to understanding manifests,
with clarity and brilliance…

how is this?

it is not explained,
fellow traveller -
only perceived,
not thought on,
yet deeply felt..

yet words are clothes
of slim fabric that
shield us barely
from the fire of attention
that is the true requisite
attire for this parallel journey
into the light..

I wish to share with you the joy,
I wish to salve the fear that strikes your heart,
I wish only for your consideration
to propel you into the vast arena
of undiluted trust and harmony
which awaits you
patiently, lovingly andcompassionately..

then I can discard the pen
and sit along side you
silently, eternally..

with bows
