Viewing Life


Thrusted into our world
Skin as pure as a virgin snowfall
As life unfolds.

Two Paths we behold
Intricately interwoven
A journey for each eye
View keenly the arising and passing of each moment
Mystery flows in and out of the ordinary.

In one way a path of living
Sprinkled with exclamation points of joy,
Commas of frustration
Periods ripe with endings and beginnings.

In another way a path of becoming
Immerse ourselves
As we unfold into a radiance, seeing life with wisdom,
Touching hearts with our compassion.

Let our eyes
Come into focus
Glance at what lies just beyond our sight.
Clarity of vision---a tender transformation
Somehow we still stir with a discontent
All is not well
Until we surrender headlong into
A spellbinding reality
Of Life’s deepest truths.

Discover our innate awareness
Never born
Pure and profound.

Gently guide ourselves to a beacon of inner knowing
Stop settling for life’s rewards
Quickly they vanish
Uncover our inheritance
A treasure of our essential selves.

Find the space
Rest in a virgin awareness
Behold!
Two paths joined in perfect symmetry.
