Poem


we readily admit that we know not how
the tumbler falls each morn
enabling us to awake
from our slumber

we are astonished!

so here we are then
like a computer rebooting
memory infusing sense of continuity 
to our fleeting mind-body ego form identity
which we then take to be the real us
even though facts are otherwise
we yet think and act as fools 

we are astonished!

musing in silence we see
that even though we have aged
innate aliveness, screen of consciousness 
remains unchanged upon which earth life does play

we are astonished!

universe tests and jests
posing problems needing solving
we assume the role of limited doership 
jubilant at our success and sorrowful at failure
while the hermit living next door just smiles
doing nothing save choosing response
dream life plays on in both cases
one is happy, the other not

we are astonished!
