Give Up the Struggle

”Be still and know we are as He
Vibrant presence, blissful and free”

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mistakenly believing
We are this body-mind
We remain in grip of ego’s bind
Until from void, clear truth cleaving

We’re here, we indulge, then pause
Web of thought spirals spawned
That with cloak of love donned
We see soul growth as life’s cause

Pendulum moves left, to go right
Stillness in motion
Sans ego commotion 
Granting us here and now clear sight

Open heart and unclenched fist
Making ourselves porous
Manifests within, a bliss torus 
If we but cease to resist
