Being still

An image comes
No thought can be without one
I wonder if…
Maybe we can
Erase the picture
Lose the thought
What if it was gone
No more repeating
No more suffering

Maybe we could instead
Let the image be in our head
Watch them pass
Be the witness
Like clouds on a windy day
Like children running in the park
Like snow tumbling
Leave our energy to our soul

Let’s send our energy to the new
Allow ourselves to create
Allow ourselves to grow
Become a shining light
Become the butterfly

Be…just be
Silent like the deep blue sea
Quiet like the sleeping bear
At peace like the highest peak
Calm like the windless day
Beauty like nature
Bright like the light of the sun

It’s time to shine
it’s time to let go
It’s time to love
It’s time to accept
It’s time to surrender
It’s time to be still

Ordinary moment

The amazing is there within what we are conditioned to see as the ‘ordinary’. We deny this present moment, for what we imagine to be a better one, either a memory of a past event or the projection into the fantasy of the future. The mind doesn’t want now, and therefore it is always seeking something else.

All that seeking makes us blind to what is actually around us and happening right now, the only moment that anything is real, the only time we can experience anything.

When we stop seeking, we see all that is amazing in this ordinary moment.
