Always There

Floating obvious
Oblivious presence

Always everywhere, nowhere

Perceived Gone- limitless illusion
Always there

Infinite

Second Thought

Sky sitting, bright sun
Letting go, wandering mind
Following- awkward touch

Hinted- underlying calm
Smooth perfection beyond

Time?
Four Bells- Body Mind As One

Inside looking out
Thoughts run freely
Confusion covered 

Slowly, slower, slow

Outside grow distant

Peaceful core discovery

Rainy Road

Ten hours later
Eyes open, closed, open, closed
Breathe, wandering focus

Something mindful

Middle way?

Present
Growing awareness, yet?

Little red caboose behind the train
Smokestack on his back
Coming down the track
Little red caboose behind the train
Whoo-Whoo!

Sweet Seat

Contrary craving- rough edge sit
Discovered!

Soft, dark seat- not sweet
Noise- follow breath
Noise- empty body
Noise- accept upset?

Irony accepted, embraced

Squeezing spheres- observing mind
Released- melting flow
Touches toes- noon bell

Minor chop finding breath
Placid calm within reach
Head breathing towards feet

Ripples ripen into serene calm

Starry Shroud

Observing breath pass
Colorless, silvery lastly white

Body weight innate

Casting Kindness
Observe breath past

Accepting body weight 

Hinted awareness- starry shroud

Painful Late

Sleeping body missing time
Awakened rolling path

Sitting cushion new
Progressively discover askew
Calm arrives carrying knots
Mindfulness caresses 

Concern bobbing- placid lake

Silhouette

Unsure seat- doubt distracting
Finding breath, thoughts catch attention
Purposeful drift- deeper, fading mind
Breathing centered, inverse?
Silhouetting body, base- top
Invited joy- warming glow

Time?

Watcher Watching

Breath emptying confusion
Calm's slow progression 
Watcher found- spherical presence
Watching focused calm melting 

Joyful Kindness- dry, mechanical
Heartfelt meaning touched

Freshness finding kindness 

Sunday, March 15, 2009

Reality

Worldly wandering without mind
Lost amid possibilities gone wild
Engulfing extremes- invisible base

Watching mindfully- peaceful pauses

Unaware doom stalking
Safety's breath
Contrary urges merge become one



Saturday, March 14, 2009

Emptying Fill

Seated blanket, pillow pair

Begin wandering
Finding breath
Emptying fill, paused- sending kindness

Emptying continued- vacuum forming
Rushing joy

Drifting dull knot unaccepted

Friday, March 13, 2009

Early Start

Gnawing suspicion barely obscured
Questioning purpose,  unmindfully observed
Now's glimmer visible, increasing each glance

Breath's rhythm elusive, resisting grasp
Tide rises imperceptibly
Coalescing towards form

One hand clapping reveals peace

Thursday, March 12, 2009

Chrome Sphere

Motionless rest- perspective relative
Wispy mist flowing- imperceptible 

Outside perspective, many sided review
Inside's limitless expanse
Misty reminder- clouding view 

Here casting joyful regard

Doom's comfort- underlying all spheres

Wednesday, March 11, 2009

Sunny Eye

Eyes open, centering, watching breath
Bouncing murmurs- instances heed
Calming body- smooth curve
Nose, mudra waves caress

Scattered perfections near, far 
Sun, Stone, Joy- one

Within, without- divided?

Monday, March 9, 2009

Almost

Drawn back- velvet calling
Drawn out- knowledge crackles
Drawn in- peace whispers
Drawn down- breath expands
Drawn up- breath departs
Drawn past- time beckons
Drawn here- now 



Sunday, March 8, 2009

Tired



New early- Old late
Drifting amiss?
Smooth wrinkles
Casting Kindness
Perfection drifting- silky touch
Awareness- time, thoughts, body... silky touch

Done- yawning, stretching... revealed

Saturday, March 7, 2009

Spreading Kindness

Inside outside twirl together
Eddies mingle, settle- sparkles remain
Puffs stir, settle- follow, release

Peaceful Joy

Limitless invisible horizon- Darkness?

Delicately settle inside
Cast easily without


Friday, March 6, 2009

New Leaves

Settling, slight doubt- flowing becalm
Progression invisible
Harmony matches breath
Timeless instances evaporate calm
Energy glowing, drifting- abyss

Reflect perfection- Eternal Now
Motionless burst

Scarcely Awry

Late first sit- pulled awry
Seating scarcely awry

Focus- wobble calming
Peace arriving

Gliding through body- settling

Feelings- one, two, more... BOOM

All Scarcely Awry- slowly settle back

Fire Hands

Sitting, breathing, feeling body
Focus moving- feet, flowing upward
Bubbles- focus, refocus

Hand,  tiny fire!
Focus, focus, focus- MORE!
More? ACCEPTING? wanting!

Gone... Wanting's Reward
