sit as you are..

to discover the the truth

the mind and heart are to be purified

in the waters of grace 

that sit beautifully silent within your being

but my how this beauty

has been shaded by the dream 

and has been covered over by graspings

has it not been seen that there is no constancy there?

and if this has not been realized 

then what is there to say?

but *look well* and *see*...

because this is the only way to discover

a deeper reality that is to make of your world

a paltry showing

friend if it were said to you in a way

that is like an arrow that 

hit the mark 

still you would not come to hear of it well

if you have not made of yourself

an open vessel in which the 

truth can be poured....

for if you are to be ready
then one must be naked and
free of what has been gathered
not to go about collecting more
concepts for the intellect...
all of it must go..
sooner or later....
this is for certain
would you not say?
then why not now friend?
come into this pure moment
in which there is no
hiding
and sit as you are
not as you *hope* to be
then you can make of
your garden rich,
deeply green and
lush with bright life
so very ready to receive
the pure waters that
make of death a false show
in which it loses all power
to haunt...
and makes life to shine perfect
and silent
as it has always been...
