Breakout: Is-ing

Every moment is already ‘like this.’
There’s nothing to pursue,
Not even happiness.

I always find my way
Whether I am mindful or not,
Even when I’m sleeping.

Although I fall into dark waters
I always save myself,
Though not necessarily
As soon as I’d like it!

I think up great lines
And then forget them
Before I write them.
As soon as I try to
Set down the words
I lose them, perhaps because
Writing is not the point,
Doing is;
Thinking is not the purpose,
Being is.

Action is paramount
But Non-action is essential too.
Seeing what is
Is just what it is;
There’s no need to think about it;
Effort only makes reality
More difficult to perceive.

I’m getting all storied out,
Telling tales
And figuring,
When I should be
Putting the past behind me
And living.
