Insight

Insight

To know who I am I sit and wait.
Nothing to do but sense the silent buzz
of the living body as dynamic delight,
a vibrant effervescence and pizzazz
inside and out. I sparkle, zing and fizz
and all that’s here is potency and might.
Thoughts abate yet consciousness remains,
that spirit seer in whom it all unfolds;
this shimmering, she created, she sustains.
Becoming the seen, in body form she moulds
her energy as clay, and just as easily dissolves
it all back to herself again.
All in a flash I am that consciousness
Moment to moment unfolding the universe.

How to meditate

How to meditate

Drop your mind off at child-care.

It cannot go where you are bound.

Kindly say you will be back, then go.

And when it calls and cries, don’t turn.

Instead, sense your way into the pure nowness

of sensation. Every corner is alive.

Stay there. Stay. She who is all there is

Will reveal Herself, as you.

Stay.

As long as it takes. Stay.

Silence

Fully empty.

Stay.

Sense now the streaming thrum

Of everything. Thy will be done.
