OF SILENCE, SPACIOUSNESS AND STILLNESS
Dear Friends
We so often get caught up in the objects of attention and forget that all that we can know and experience is only because of the ‘three non-things’ of Silence, Spaciousness and Stillness.
Our Mindfulness and Meditation Practice help to remember and re-mind back to this fundamental purity and simplicity which is known as Perfect Peace.
Enjoy my verse below that emphasises this possibility.
John B.
OF SILENCE, SPACIOUSNESS AND STILLNESS
And when the Silence comes;
Be not fearful or afraid.
Remain Mindful, aware, the mind free from mental;
Comment, commentary, critique, complaint, concern or creativity;
This quietude is supreme!
And when Spaciousness is known within;
Do not reach for objects of attention;
Maintain the Mindfulness of knowing;
Beyond the limitations and contraction caused;
By subject – object, self and other; distinction and distraction.
And as Stillness happens;
Be moved not to activate mental activity;
But allow the motionless, Mindful Presence;
Of total present, now-knowing;
Which is Perfect Peace.
Of and as;
Silence, Spaciousness and Stillness;
There is purity and simplicity, perfection and peace.
There is nothing more to say or do;
There is nothing more to get, to gain or to be!
And as the living of life and engagement in the world;
The most transformative thoughts arise from inner Spaciousness;
The most wonderful words come forth from inner Silence;
The most beautiful deeds and doings flow from inner Stillness.
This is the Way of the Wonderful!
