grace in charge

it is only when the cacophony

of mind dies and stillness is born

that pure life is freed to be known

without the *direct experience* of stillness 

there is no understanding 

of that which is false 

there is no true seeing 

there is only a *concept* of silence 

which is as far away from the truth 

as ever 

the mind cannot die without surrender 

surrender is imperative for the heart to 

be made manifest

it cannot shine otherwise

the mind is to be a servant to heart 

as the ox is to the master

it is surrendered to the one in charge 

which is grace 

it is not to be calling the shots 

like one that is in the drivers seat 

and making all the moves 

and commands to go here and there 

and this is this way

and that is that way

but it is to be still and surrendered to 

the light that is so pure 

then what comes is spontaneous 

and not of planned action

that has expected outcomes and all of this 

which is of intellect 

this is not correct vision my heart friends 

what is correct is *heart* vision

that is not in mental unrest like the mind 

so take this pointing to the soul

and be relaxed in stilled presence 

like a being of grace that you are 

be quiet 

be still

be in love with the moment 

and do not go outward in thought 

this is the flow of writing 

that has come this evening
may stillness reign

great night and om
