Be, don't seek.
Sit warmly open,
lightness in your brow,
not questions.
Be ready for the quiet
when it comes,
and the creaking
of the house's bones
and the wind's music
playing the notes of the trees.
Be, don't brood,
Don't wait for life
to announce itself
in capitals
or high garb.
Be available to its whispers
know how to listen
when it tells its true self
and not the lies
you've dreamed up.
Be able to breathe
and let go of your breath,
let go of life as you wish it to be
and take in the simplicity,
the facts-
This sky is.
This day is.
This sparrow is.
Be, don't try.
Your weariness must have
shown you something by now.
Stay seated in your soul,
remember the sun is there,
truth and time are there.
Be, don't seek.
You've already found.
You already have.
You already know.
You already are.
