A Gift to Grandpa

Today my grandson, the four year old one, Gave me a gift more valuable than any other. The fact he didn’t even know he gave it Doesn’t make it any less precious, In fact that lack of consciousness Was the giving and the gift itself. What he gave was insight, A glimpse into his world The natural non-dual experience of Life, An effortless pointing out instruction With just a simple enthusiastic call, “Hey Grandpa!” And in that call I knew that for him There was no self and other, no me and him, Just Life, with a sense of joyful delight, Living life, Connecting across time and space, With simply, more Life.
