Mystical Kiss

Hold on to nothing and hold nothing away
I bowed before my master and that is what she had to say
I’m afraid I said, uncertain of things ahead
You seem to forget she replied you only encounter the future in your head.
You are not that which you see
You are not that which you hear
Beyond the bodily concept of earthly years
You are that which sees, that which hears

But I’m afraid of where I’m going, afraid of where I’ve been
I don’t always remember: Fear is False Evidence Appearing Real
“All is well” I heard her say
Truth is… if you walk this way.
There is no face but many masks
You are that of which you ask.
Don’t wait on time, don’t lean on a date
Life is a canvass change is the paint.
But I don’t like change it makes me wonder why
To which she said:
That’s because you think of yourself as a cloud instead of the sky

OMIGOSH!!!
This is palpable.
And true.
*I know, I was already hanging out here, so I was quick to see this.
The last paragraph especially , quite applies to me right now.

"Don’t wait on time, don’t lean on a date
Life is a canvass change is the paint."

Thank you.

Oh No! We can't have that.
We're in need of your brains (and heart!)

No more Koans then...

Oh, I am so blown away by these posts I'm reading today - I was so down-hearted and low in spirits this morning - and I've been reading everyone's posts and poetry, and I'd like to say a great big thank you to each and everyone of you - for sharing your poetry, your feelings, your lives, giving of your time to share here, you are all so wonderful. It really feels to me like we are our own special world .

no

I guess I shouldn't have said that on "Mystical Kiss"

But your morning meditation was the perfect addition to my weekend

I was going to say perfect "ending" but does it ever really end..?
