Dark clouds cover eyes
In order to truly see
Without vision
Difficult mobility
Stop
Or be stopped
To see more clearly
Immediately, fear rises mightily
Not in in control anymore
At all
Are we ever really in control?
Surrender to the absence
Of control
Only then in the sweet stillness of the night
Can the birds sing vibrantly
First, sturdy foundation
Be fully rooted now
Tethered in order to soar
Only now can transformation happen
But, not yet
The truth is the stillness
The vulnerability to trust, to love
To receive instead of doing, giving
The letting go, living without attachments
To die to sleep
To sleep, perchance to dream*
To see
To be
With open eyes, the world is so distracting
Can't fully focus on the inner realms
And on the Divine until we
Close our eyes so we can see
A prayer:
Open our hearts so we can hear
Drain us of our pride and our arrogance
So that we can stop and listen more clearly
Silently mediating and covering eyes
Blocking out external sight
Sensory deprivation leads to
Understanding who we are
Where we are
What is true
Eruptions of doubt, fear, anxiety
Burst forth and dissolve slowly
No intervention needed
Just time and breath
A quiet, still place where we
Stop spinning around
Safe and soft
Tender and howling
All the demons and the angels
Arise together momentarily
Treading softly
Healing slowly
Miraculous and magical
No blueprint or rule book here
Totally led and guided by the force
The power of the Source
The Great Spirit Mystery
The Divine Energy
All gobbledygook
Word salad, this language makes no sense
Still happening no matter whether
We understand or not
Doing just by thinking
Doing just by writing
Time has to stop as well
No schedule, no routine
Everything stops
Now
Except for the breath, the sounds and the silence
The light moves away, the darkness increases
And, then nothing at all for just one moment
Nothing
No thing
Bliss
Humbled
Quiet
Not fully alone
Held
*William Shakespeare's Hamlet
