Today There Is Rain Outside

Today there is rain outside
as I begin to meditate....
I settle down more deeply,
more still than usual,
even until....
all thoughts were still...
my feelings faded away,
I was left
in deep peace.

in the quiet... 
no boundaries existed,
no where
no why
no what
no who.

I'm aware of unlimited awareness,
nothing else...
no time
no changing
no content
no other.

I remained with
One.
Is..

Eventually,
the universe came
and my mind flooded with imperfections
all around me,
sensations,
all around me
surrounding me
cries from humanity
of shame, humiliation, elimination,
of guilt and evil and blame,
of hopelessness and despair,
of fear and hate

the rain outside had stopped
adding to the noise.
