Peace of Mind

I've always believed that I was aware of where my thoughts lie
even when they suddenly arrive unbidden, as a foe or friendly ally.
Sometimes grabbing my attention, sifting around in my mind,
even those I attempt to suppress, the ones that may seem unkind.

Do my thoughts lead to awareness or is it the other way around?
Through an arc of enlightenment, peace of mind was found.
I discerned that I am able to know whether I'm deluded or clear~
Thinking gives way to awareness when allowed to draw near.

There seems to be a slim boundary that separates the two,
often transparent, like a gossamer veil I can nearly see through.
I realized that I shouldn't suppress my thoughts as they arise,
or my awareness may be obscured; surely that would be unwise.

Does wisdom come to me through thought and meditation?
I believe it does because I feel a sense of positive connotation,
or an intrinsic vision that fills my mind with a spiritual calm.
Peace of mind soothes my stress like a gentle healing balm.

Lin, you make an interesting point. Some of us know when we’re fooling ourselves— denial of reality. There’s a little bit of that in normal people, but only a bit. What’s so amazing is thinking about how thoughts come to us. It’s meditative to think about all the thought triggers we have. Poem is really amazing in its ability to address thinking and awareness.

Dear Lin, What a breath of fresh air this morning! Moving with calm certainty, as if you had spent time in deep reflection and returned with a handful of light. Lin, it truly brought me a sense of peace this morning. :) Summer Blessings, My Dear Lin, Daniel
