… this morning’s ramble
nature divine
these words widen and soften my heart
connecting to walks, to feet touching the earth,
wind in my face, colors all around,
vast, wild, grandeur
wonder arises
sensing the ever-balancing forces that keep the seasons flowing
divine nature
seeing the light within the whole living web
the interwoven fabric of all arising right now
in every breath the light shines
mind has become so efficient
putting labels upon life
that it no longer sees divine nature shining
beneath words, concepts, beliefs, expectations, thoughts…
yet, and here comes the cosmic joke,
they too are part of the whole!
”what then can be done?” the mind is quick to ask
nothing, nothing at all
for everything is already in motion
is flowing with its own momentum
”what helps?”
observing the divine play
yet that too is already happening on its own account
for can you be not aware?
giving up the belief in being a separate, small self
seeing the folly of this belief
investigating until it is beyond doubt
breath is breathing itself
heart is beating by itself
sleeping and waking happening by themselves
impulses arising by themselves
thoughts, emotions arising by themselves
this moment unfolding by itself
instead of believing anything read, heard or thought
investigate until the last question is quenched
arriving in beginner’s mind
you are doing none of it
remember the cosmic joke
the divine hide and seek
and call yourself
by your true name
