I keep on checking
but I always fail to find
a ‘within’ or ‘out there’
apart from thoughts in mind
so how can I ‘go within’
to ‘nurture’ the Immeasurable
or ‘cultivate’ it in the world
when ‘world’ and ‘me’ are inseparable?
if there’s no ‘there’ out there
(and this isn’t hard to see)
the buck stops right here
in this matrix called ‘me’
with nowhere to go
and nowhere to hide
no inner, outer, higher or lower
the heart can open wide
can kiss each wondrous moment
with a love that can’t be taught
the only way you’ll stop it
is to entertain a thought

Sculpture: Meditating Woman by Dorothy Frankel
echoes from emptiness 
like trying to meditate
when there’s only me-dictating
giggling happening here dear Mark … thank you for making me chuckle …
thank you for making me evaporate
🙂
Those fully alert are as one with the world; an entertaining thought indeed. Lovely language, phrasing and tone here – very well done.
Thanks for your comment Mike. Yes – to be “fully alert”, effortlessly, is to be at One with all that appears as World.
….but yet one cannot stop the thoughts. So it is important to realize that you are not the owner of those/these thoughts. as the epic battle ensues. thank you ml 🙂
I just had a Skype-play-sharing with a friend on exact the same theme. We both love to play with the me-thought – we’re both willing to see that it might not be us – and that’s as “far” we are right now LOL
-but so fun to play
Kissing every moment with love… Thank you. Yes!
