Monk mode

As we navigate this domain,
with past life memory erased,
while most pursue lust and shun pain,
we walk through this dream life unfazed.

We merely act as of God’s will,
as we navigate this domain,
along slopes uphill and downhill,
equal in sunshine and in rain.

Reflex responses we retrain,
our eye mindful and touch gentle,
as we navigate this domain,
the way we look, nonjudgmental.

We’ve surrendered and come undone
and no longer wear ego’s chain,
so nothing by us need be done,
as we navigate this domain.
