The mind leads us like a flame
burning with churning, learning...
Embers of the heart heating, leading,
catching fire to things, shedding light...
Inner light...
The fire spreads, we spread...
...
But then,
the time of the cool rocks, ashes...
shadows, emptiness, stillness, posture, stability...
Mind quiets, spreads across the sea, our breathing body...
Cosmic energy, circulating, pervading, calming,
settling, dissolving, clearing, reflecting, mirroring...
...
The moon reflects in the water.
Everything just is.
...
...
...
Occasionally
a thought
rises
like a bubble...
