Notes No.1

 

 

There is so much awe in a simple flower.

Life is beyond richness—

It's beyond the division

Of "the flower" and "the me".

In the act of looking

The object and subject

Are not, but there is only

The singularity of Act.

The divisive "reality of thoughts"

(The separative beliefs)

Is not the Truth.

It's imaginary, constructed,

Conceptual.

When the thoughts quiet,

The beauty flows in.

The beauty of a stranger

Walking along the path,

The beauty of a single falling leaf,

The beauty of a cloud

Moving between the sun

And the looker.

The ugliness of expectations

Allows not room

For sweet appreciation,

Loving gratitude,

And a healthy heart.

There is not anything

Quite as beautiful

As the exchange of smiles

Between two Loving

Individuals.
