Thought Rested Awareness

the mind is forever busy 
planning - doing - pushing 
             self absorbed 
                             scattered 
personality driven 

 to be soul driven 
 focus on the breath 
    slow down and empty the mind 
              to silence and stillness 
allowing 
              e  x  p  a  n  s  i  o  n
of awareness 
   
insights come 
       unbidden and dreamlike 
from a place beyond time 
  connecting with the external and eternal 
       all-that-is
