Transformer



It became
inescapably obvious
as I grew older: reality is layered,
and, if you focus less intently on what you are doing,
and give yourself permission
to just Be,
  you can see several layers simultaneously.

It is a transcending awareness
in which all is connected,
and our world reveals her true colours,
and our senses thrill.
You know what is truly important,
and life is full.

For me, the choice was clear,
so
if I seem not to be fully engaged with what I am doing,
I may be really busy
on a Different level.

Welcome, and Namaste

Greetings fellow travellers,

For you American friends visiting, you will notice that this old Canadian uses Canadian English in this blog: kindly bear with me. As I blog primarily on subjects that are vitally interesting to me, I appreciate all feedback.

As I tend to be a bit of a language usage freak, I will, as required, edit obscenity and rude comments. That said, I welcome your opinions and discussion.

May your Dharma be clear

Peace

"If we shadows have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended:
That you have but slumb'red here,
While these visions did appear."
