How could you be?
Thoughts come and go

Your body changes

all the changes
You are not defined

So you
who are not defined
by thoughts
by feelings
by sensations
by body
what are you?
Check and see
if you are not
the vast everpresent space
in which
all experience arises
all thoughts arise
all feelings arise
all sensations arise
all bodies arise
everything arises
and comes to rest
Check and see
if you are not
the unmoving center
which holds
all movement

We may draw
from
age-old
spirituality
but we must
apply it
to life
in present times
We may revere
sages and saints
of the past
but we must
summon
their wisdom
in ourselves
in present times
We may heed
the scriptural rules
of the past
but we must
reconcile their truth
with our reality
in present times
We may respect
the holy systems
of the past
but we must
be open
to new beginnings
in present times
We may value
the journeys
of the past
but we must
look forward
to new roads
in present times
This takes willingness
this takes courage
this takes discernment
to see clearly
what is time-bound
and what is timeless
We can know
ourselves
as the timeless
and we must
live our lives
in present times.
In present times
~ Ameeta Kaul

Contemplation on the Odu Iwori Ogunda ( Iwori Aweda ) inspired by Bibo Bo Aozora (Ryuichi
I stared at idols
hoping to see my soul
I wore shiny trinkets
hoping to be protected from the world
I spent my savings
hoping to attain knowledge
I listened to blind adoration
hoping to feel humility
I watched celebrations
hoping to find joy
I sang songs of praise
hoping to reach the heavens
I observed states of ecstasy
hoping to feel a spark
I prayed for enlightenment
in the midst of all this activity
and found myself alone
in a crowd of believers
only to realize
the futility of the search.
Enlightenment is simply
the peace we find
appreciating every moment
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The whole secret of mysticism is this: that man can understand everything by the help of what he does not understand. The morbid logician seeks to make everything lucid, and succeeds in making everything mysterious. The mystic allows one thing to be mysterious, and everything else becomes lucid. ~ G. K. Chesterton
