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
