The background is always there
The silence is the canvas
Upon the canvas bees buzz
Birds sing and leaves rustle
Stillness and creation together
The background is our anchor
It is the consciousness of life
It is a continuous stream of light
All the noises are contained there
The time is always now there
When we are within our mind
The background is still there
We are just not aware
We do not feel it but it’s there
We lost our connection to it
When we are free from thought
We become one with all that is
The background contains all
We here it, see it, feel it
We experience it and simple joy
The background is our friend
We can learn so much
We become it in this moment
We are awake and alive
The background envelopes us
The background holds us
The background is the universe
It is the beautiful nature
It is peace and unconditional
The background is always there
Once we are it’s friend we know
We become it too
