the seeds of truth...

when is the dawn of freedom to appear?
in winter the seeds lay dormant as pure life
resting in the earth that is to bring nutrients and
rich food to that which waits ...
so also the pure life force is to give nourishment
to the seeds of truth that are planted
in the heart
when placed there with sincerity and desire for
fulfillment...
when resistance is let go of
the mind is purified by grace
there is no lasting benefit in gathering
and collecting knowledge about how things appear
or should be....
this only adds clutter to the search
and what is needed is a clearing away...
the dance of spring never fails to come
with its bright rejoicing of colorful life
and wondrous blossoming of growth...
and after this turn
the glory of summer with life opening
at its fullest...
this is the way of the heart within the journey
it takes time to uncover the purity that rests within
do not place your energy into wondering *when* or *how*
or even more obstructive *what have i done or  not done*...
as this type of bemoaning and pondering are sturdy food
for ego so as to keep it with a fasthold on the soul
just as there is nothing that you do my friend
to make the earth come to life or die away
the rains and winds of grace take care of that...
all one can do is rest in the heart and
engage the practices
letting go completely as to the outcome...
be settled with what is* here or not here* without
clinging to either....
slowly the seeds will sprout inside and come to life
as to overshadow the play of mind
and eventually this energy of mind will dissolve away..
into the pure silence of *IS*....
