to lose is the greatest blessing...

so my friend
have you not seen yourself true
for a moment even?
have you fallen back into easy ways
of thought and fantasy?
have you been asleep when the sun is shining
and looked away when grace offered the opportunity
to challenge the mental patterns within?
how is it going in there?
what have you shed to let  die away
and blow with the wind?
it is so much a beautiful thing to lose a little more
of your old self everyday...
to lay it to rest for good...

to lose in this way is the
greatest blessing..
as what fills the emptiness is
light
beauty
joy
and peace
this is so much of beautiful thing...

shanti om
