Thought of the day

pause for but a moment, the flow of life
feel whatever sensation arises
do we sense heart contractions, caused by strife
onset of angst perhaps, whence fear rises
mitigating joy’s offered surprises
if this be so and we feel sense of lack
shift into the void and get soul’s light back

I like this thought of the day a lot, I need to get myself back on track, as the life in me has slacked… Beryl

A standard Buddhist mindfulness practice asks us to pause and inquire, ‘to whom do these heart contractions/ thoughts come? they come to body- mind, which I am not. who I Am is God’s living light eternal!’ Contemplating thus, joy, innate to our being, is restored.
