Drinking: Absorption

The “true” mind
(Whatever that means!),
The default option,
Makes no distinctions:

It knows nothing
Of problems,
Is completely ignorant of solutions,
Has no notion of failure or success.

This is its natural state,
The awakened state
Of pure, something-or-other-ness,
That which is indescribable,

From here
It sees
But does not know;
It only looks,

It is this mind
Which sees no problems
And no solutions
But is also shy and elusive,

Nobody knows its name
And so, they just label it
“Mind”
And get back to work,

Weeding the garden
Or food shopping,
Walking the dog
Or washing the car,

Nothing to bother about,
No worries,
Business as usual,
Getting on with things.
