Entertainment: Not Sure

Not sure
What to say
As
The mind is quiet,

Not much
Going on,
The word factory
Is silent,

And then,
Just then,
Although I didn’t notice,
It started up again.

But now
Is just now
And
That’s all there is to it;

I can’t see through it
And I can’t get rid of it,
I’m a little fed up with it
And yet, still with it,

Life comes and goes,
And I’m content
To sit with it,
Relaxed and attentive,

Enjoying the view,
Although it’s misty,
A translucent fog
Having come up,

Not sure
What that’s about
Or what it is,
Or what’s the difference.

Entertain: Now is My Only Home

My home is now,
It’s the only place
I’ve ever been
And the only place
I will ever be,

There can be
No other location,
Never was
And never will be,

Whatever is
Happening,
Is what’s always
Been happening,

Whatever I see
Is what
I’ve always
Seen,

Whatever I think
Is what
I’ve always
Thought,

There is
No continuation,
Only
The continuity of now,

Even though
There is change,
There is no change,
As I’m always here;

I can be nowhere else
Even when
I don’t know it
And cannot see it.

Enterprising: Exploring Attachment

There are times
When it seems
Attachment is merely
One of the joys of life!

Grabbing
And letting go,
Just the rhythm
Of being,

Pleasure
In each,
And
Both at once,

The presence
Of clinging
Matters not,
Nor of letting go;

And sometimes
Both are present,
In complementary portions
That don’t dilute happiness at all!

But then still,
There are other times,
When this clinging
Is very painful indeed,

Then it can be
Very distracting
And difficult to endure,
Until at last it goes;

Then relief follows
But watch out!
For unwariness can lead to
Grabbing onto that relief
And suffering may follow.
