Zen mode

mental associations mitigate effervescence 
interfering by manifesting desired outcome 
so looking nonchalantly at these stirrings 
we reject ego’s counsel rooted in ignorance 

a constant watchful eye and tranquil heart
sets soul free from the tendency to stagnate
thus moment by moment, shedding resistance 
in agendaless vibrance, we dwell in the void

No, not the void! There's a lot here going on here. I'm loving the Zen mode poems.

hmmm, well, in the void, we are in subjective awareness, in singularity, transcendent whereas here we are in objective awareness, in duality, immanent.
