I wander a
transient life
day after day
night after night

dew vanishing
in sunlight

disappears
in the emptiness

a flash of lightning
in darkness

Beyond infinity

body, mind
boundless, free

limitless sea

pale blue dot
trillions of stars
night sky

You ask where am I ?

He smells the
world that I see

I wonder what it’s
like to simply just Be

I learn from him
in the moment

I glimpse Samadhi
and realize that
to simply Be is
Enlightenment

an Illumined mind
perceiving entanglement
throughout the cosmos

unknown I wander
one Zendo to another
my Zafu’s the earth

Milky Way my roof
universe is Zendo wall
emptiness my house

every time I rise
I walk in total silence
no one knows my name

high above the land
fire and ice on full display

Your true Self’s
Between breaths

And you
What to do
As you hit the wall
In daily life

Breathe 3 times
Hold exhale Repeat
no stress no strife

Reset your
parasympathetic
nervous system
in equipoise

No more noise

A new tool
new perspective

In silence
it’s effective

not just a dirt road
all light glows with memories
on the way back home

I know that takes time but your Haiku is definitely worthy of it
Exquisite 💫🌷🍃

Last night
the coolness
of moonbeams

illuminated
your mind so
very far beyond
your wildest dreams

Look in the mirror and see the
stars that still shine in your eyes

They’re brighter than all
of the stars in the skies

A group of young monks
gathered around the Master.

The Master has mastered
many different forms of
advanced meditation.

Now everything he does
is a form of meditation.

Master,
‘What meditation
form do you now use ?’

“The easiest form of all”

‘What is it?’

“ I live my life”

Meditate on this...

We all have one address...

Earth, The Solar System,
Orion Arm,
The Milky Way,
Local Group,
Virgo Cluster,
Virgo Super-Cluster,
The Universe

We also are simply
one species:

Earthlings -
All equal skins made
of Ancient Stardust

In the darkness

I breathe love

Into the world

Dancing in darkness

In Total Consciousness

Throughout Creation

In Silence love
needs no translation

In this floating universe
we’re divine Beingness

Awake in Total Consciousness

Simply Be Kind

As love rises in humankind
