Dispel: Dropping the Weight

Events gearing up
To a fever pitch
But still took some time
To just sit,

Noticing the experience
Tuning in to sound,
How quiet it was!
What presence;

No need for effort
As the calm
Arose from the conditions,
Steady and peaceful;

Flickering thoughts
Flowed on through,
Unimpeded by clinging,
Easy going and true;

Spontaneous mindfulness,
Gentle awareness,
Time forgotten,
Here enough;

How else could it be?
When the universe
Is doing everything
And everything doing the universe

Or so it felt
On this occasion;
What a welcome respite
From the usual chaos

And yet even from this
All is really okay,
No need to change a thing,
Only my perspective.
