”simply choosing to stop thinking we attain peace that’s unblinking” ~ quote by poet Though we have been, seen and so known, light of Self beyond time full blown, assimilation yet awaits, as we walk on this path alone. Engaging in senseless debates, our wayward ego celebrates, having shrouded our inner light, distancing us from heaven’s gates. Mind thought to be boon, is now blight, doubts arise and we crouch in fright, lost in dreams we have created, where imagination takes flight. Feeling from God separated, by day and night agitated, knowing not silence is the way, God in heart is not located.
