Enabling: Mindfulness and More

When I stay
With what’s happening now,
Letting go of stories
About cause and effect,

The burden of the past
Drops away,
Leaving behind
A lightness of mind;

There’s only
A transparent,
Liquid
Flow,
A continuous awareness,

A viewing of thoughts,
A feeling of feelings,
A cascade of sensations,
A consciousness of consciousness,

Yet, nothing separates
Me from me,
Or one moment
From another,

Mental images
Come and go,
Ideas and impressions
Pass by,

As if, sitting on the shore
Of a moving stream,
The watching proceeds
As the water passes,

Sparkling in the sun,
Carrying thoughts like leaves,
Containing feelings and sensations
That ripple and resolve.
