Mindful eye

All that is, is we need to be aware, moment to moment, all moments entwined, that with boundless space in silence we pair, head melded with heart, with bliss beats aligned, playing our life role, as has been assigned. Softening attention, just being still, ego cravings die and voids within fill, wherein neither looking back nor ahead, in the here and now, we ascend uphill step by step, in childlike trust, by love led.

another powerful poem...liked 'moment to moment, all moments entwined.' I find that is so true of me and my life. I especially liked 'softening attention, just being still, ego cravings die and voids within fill.' Wise and insightful. Have a wonderful weekend, Sara

head melded with heart, with bliss beats aligned, playing our life role, as has been assigned--words of wisdom, US, to live life in harmony.

This is a wonderful rhyming Dizain, Seeker. Ego is life threatening... voids best filled with something much more constructive and inducive to living a worthier way of life.

Well actually we need the ego to navigate earth life but what has happened is, it has come centre stage even though it is only an instrument, just like any other limb. Ego is fed by deluded thought. Therefore silence diminishes its hold and then we reconnect with spirit in our waking state. That’s all there is to it. It’s difficult because it is easy, being a non-doing rather than a doing.
