Nature of Mind
("Mind's Eye", 2017, original encaustic)
Nature of Mind
This state, not the external one
Of time and place, but the natural state
That knows no in or out, one or many,
Is our true home. And yet we wander
Endlessly searching for what is already here.
What is this state?
Open, welcoming, forgiving, peaceful,
Without causes and conditions
Thus unborn and undying,
The simply spacious nature of our mind.
Relax now in this state, this home
This very moment
To embody its changeless nature,
And so renewed,
To share the joy.
