awakening from sleep
awareness arrays a new-born world
splashes face
gropes for zafu
settles butt, folds legs
inhales the fragrant flowering gums
chuckles with the kookaburra
trembles with the palm fronds
sips steaming green tea
disappears into a silence
that senses every tone and texture
breathes – is breathed
marvels, that
not one scientist, philosopher or sage
can explain how any of this can possibly occur
on an exquisite pulsing rock
awhirl in a numinous space –
a space inseparable from
the immense, immeasurable awareness
in which it all appears

Aaah….glorious perplexity!
complexity . . . perplexity . . . simplicity
Don’t you just love the paradoxes?
🙂
ah, there you are, you keep disappearing into silence and I don’t know where you’ve got to …
He he he! Here, always here, inside your wondrous mind, dear Mark . . .
