happiness

why is mind like and elephant?

because it is so heavy and sits in the center 

with a bigness about it that is all consuming 

it is not hard to see it 

yet it mostly goes unseen
because it takes completely 

over the being when in play

when in play it moves and moves 

as a bumblebee flitting about here and there 

and not settling still on the present 

it moves to find something that is to make it 

content 

but there is never anything that makes it 

feel happy truly 

as it continues to look for something else 

the mind then is like a bumblebee

what is the seeking man to do 

if he is sincere? 

he does not let this mind play it's games 

of moving and flitting 

and calls it back to the source by enquiry,
engaging the practices and relaxing in the moment
when the mind comes back to it's source 

then it has fulfilled itself 

and it is happiness without content

because there is no more roaming and looking 

to find happiness 

as mind and heart become one 

and this *is* happiness 

though not hard to understand

very hard to experience 

yet friends experience it you must 

to be free 

and know that you are the light always 

you are this 

and not this movement
