Zen Mode

here we are, abiding in bliss energised stillness 
then an earthy agenda calls upon us to act
for there is a mundane task to be performed 
in as ordained in our earth life role we so chose

hesitancy, if it arises, to dive into gross matter
does it not signal addiction to our comfort zone
what is that that inhibits our meditational orientation 
merely by altering activity mind-body is to perform 

introspecting thus we ascertain the cause within
being our inability as yet to bilocate fickle attention
which as yet has tendencies toward inertia or tamas
preferring to stagnate somewhere rather than flow

the aspect of consciousness that stagnates is ego
therefore as yet traces of feral residue remain within
restricting free and unfettered movement of presence
across all realms and domains in vibrant nonchalance
