Perfect brilliant stillness

How still is our stillness if thought forms arise,
each flicker having origins in ego,
a flaming ember, which never ever dies,
unless we’re empty and completely let go,
which if be the case, befriending the vast void,
we shine as light of Self, pure and unalloyed,
whereupon the universe bestows a verse,
conjured thus without any need to rehearse?

Dear US, I loved how you delved into the profound depths of inner peace and self-awareness. You beautifully capture the essence of letting go of ego to embrace the vast void within, where true enlightenment resides. Your words speak the truth that we find the purest form of self in silence and connect with the universe effortlessly. US, what an insightful reflection on the journey to inner illumination. - Blessings, Daniel
