Notes About The Poem

Deepening Stillness

“we must get out of our own way, so to speak
that the elixir divine, may inwards seep”
_______________________________

Bliss influx foiled by our own hand
Erst memory binds and confines
Stalled by mind, which would understand
Whilst heart vibrant, with love aligns 

Both doing and non-doing fail 
Bliss influx foiled by our own hand
Brave of heart, yet rudderless sail
The void is where we take our stand

Cave of our heart, a joyous land
In but not of the outer world 
Bliss influx foiled by our own hand
Unless flag of love is unfurled 

Cessation the way to ascend
Deep into divine pastures grand
Renouncing desire, ego bend 
Bliss influx foiled by our own hand

I get the feeling you live a lonely heart. Maybe I'm wrong. Hope so.

… an investigation on how to rest subtler layers of thought which interferes in our meditation.
