Spring Begins
In the stillness that is inherent in the space of presence In the silence that is intrinsic to the one true moment of now May I recognize the true heart essence of compassion That is no different than the immediacy of awareness May I recognize this formless essence as the wellspring of all positive qualities As no different than the inherent nature of my being Not needing maintenance or repair, allowance is the nature of awareness Simply letting all mental phenomena collapse unto itself May I become ever more aware of the deep seated joy and peace That is not a product of any mental story Not just sitting in meditation, but in all facets of my life May I bring loving attentiveness to all activities and non-activities The tolerable and intolerable, the challenging and mundane May I bring all into presence And be free of the one, who is looking to escape
