Blossoming Mindfully

Let us gather to re-member this moment

Without a viewer

Not scatter or dis-member time

Into past and future

A fragmented mind is like a skipping turntable

It’s narrow, repeating, discordant, and unstable

 

Remove the sack of assumptions

That crowds your head with racket

That blinds your vision with overfed opinions

With little room to unpack it

 

Let all rise and fall in wonder and awe

Be in tranquil meditation

Cling to nothing in thought let all judgements dissolve

Untangle identification 

Let mind’s sky clear into infinite space

Let fear disappear of inexhaustible grace

 

We can’t change the past, but we can certainly heal it

By tuning into this moment our presence reveals it

Vibrating harmoniously, we ripple concurrently

Birthing potentials from stillness coherently

An effortless release of whatever’s holding us back

Obscuring our perception with disinformation attack

 

We don’t need to know where we’ve been to see where to go

When we’re present within, our responses just flow

From compassion and kindness that fountains endlessly

With gratitude and love we blossom mindfully
