What Remains
WHAT REMAINS?
We keep a focus
on what appears as the world:
the morning newspaper
checking email and
Facebook and checkbook..
Perhaps we meditate
and notice the thoughts
interfering it seems
with meditating goals..
All of these outward
attractions and destinies
seem to claim somewhat
of what we are..
The question may assert:
What remains..?
The assertion arriving
with fits of discomfort..
We might respond:
Nothing remains:
a frightening reply
to some..calming to others..
This introduction
to what we are
is the real message
of this season...
