Downward: Back to Now

My practice has slipped
Away from sitting!
Tis a defection
To reflection,

A direction change
From meditation to action,
But such action!
Not mindless but present,

There’s a freedom
And an ease
In everything doing
And yet all is the same.

Is this a return
To the old way of doing?
Or is there something different
In this pattern?

Oh, never mind!
Just enjoy and learn
Being here,
Forget about there,

Who cares what’s the reason,
Whether mood or season,
The dharma
Or living;

No recalling to mind,
No imagining,
No thinking about what’s happening,
No figuring or trying, just resting,

Getting on with
What’s indicated
Based on what’s needed
And what’s decided.
