(A Poem From The Path: Meditation)

Meditation -

What a complication
When sitting in meditation.

The body is designed to move –
But may not.
The mind wants to think –
But must not.
The emotions want to feel –
But should not.

Shouldn’t I be doing something?

Sitting in stillness,
Motionless,
Without thought or feeling,
Awareness arises.
That which discerns directly –
Observing what is.

Observing.
No motion,
Observing
No thought,
Observing
No emotion.
Observing
Peace and tranquility.

Always present.
At the very core.
An effervescent thrill.
A radiant fountain of joy.
An intensifying compassionate love.
The bedrock of all that is.
The soul.

I have found
me.
