Body settles more easily…
Entrainment with the Inner Rhythm,
more natural…
I feel a pull, pulling me into the inner depths,
to an inner window,
an inner Awareness.
Thoughts drift
Noises fade
Awareness arises:
When I don’t *want* anything to “happen”,
I relax into this inward pull…
When I don’t *need* anything to “happen”,
I relax into the way it is…
Kind of like life…
“Life holds no promises,”
wafts through my head.
A reminder to hold onto nothing;
to expect nothing *from* life;
that there is nothing in it for the “me”…
The pull of the inner window
reminds me to just relax,
without turning away from the window – the seeing…
without turning away from life – the experiencing…
without turning away from
the depths of Awareness…

I don't know why but your writing reminded me of The Sounds of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel...

ReplyDeleteThank you Leslie :)
wanting and needing... tough teachers. I love the imagery in this post. When I can let go, even a pull is ok, just slowly drifting down into the depths like a pebble falling through water.
ReplyDeleteGenju ~ For me it's like the pull of an inner Rhythm of the deeper River, calling me "Home." It is a delightful pull - saying here I am - just come, just be still and come - and so I surrender into it - following the Rhythm...
