mindless

"The problem with the concept of 'mindfullness' is that the mind has center stage when its meant to be kept well backstage. Simple awareness is mind less, with the mind kept half full or half empty. Awareness lets be-what-may, be."

"What comes, comes. What flows, flows. What goes, goes. What stays, stays. Let it be." Quotes by the Author

Listen to poem:

Since the mind dwells on tense well past, Endlessly over-analyzing, happenstance recast, Ignore the mind, let awareness be, let it grow. Learn to feel, live in the mindless ways your senses know. Warm to breath, the waft of breeze in your hair. Feel warmth of sun, the texture of things laid bare. No need to grasp, claw, dwell, gather or cling. Let each sense come-in, and be whatever it can bring. For pain will come, go, and then slip away. Pleasure too is fleeting, not longing to stay. Come what may, enjoy, revile, welcome all-in with glee. Be here, be now, be aware, from a doting mind-set, set free.
