Disallow: Relinquishing the Watcher

Looking in on experience,
Tension grows with effort,
Finally switching to being with,
Full immersion,

And what relief!
As if a voice said,
“Thank goodness! No more scrutiny,
Or labeling or trying to figure out.”

Continued with walking meditation,
Attention fixed upon the feet,
First one, then the other
Contacts with the pavement;

It’s an interesting arrangement,
How the limbs go
And the rest of the body
Just follows along;

Experiencing experience,
Relaxing into it,
Enjoying the walking back and forth
In the cool night air;

Soon time to go back in
But staying with the motion,
Letting go of all notions
Again and again,

Getting out of the way
And allowing
Not interfering
Generates such good feeling;

Entering mindfully
Back into the flow of activity,
Having been refreshed
By a respite from the busy.
