Seams are sewn
by the dividing mind
Shrewd weaver –
knows how to trick us
knows how to scare away
our Stillness
our wild
our free
Sitting quietly today by
the creek with my duck,
squirrel, tree, dragonfly
friends
I am reminded that the
seamless sky is also the
sea is also every flutter of
every leaf is every stone –
also my voice my body
every tear of joy and grief
every ache and celebration
The mind whirrs, worries and
wants –
believes in time
believes in seams
Sitting quietly
Seamless Being
Questions for Contemplation
1. What is your experience in the domains of body, mind, feelings and spirit when your thinking mind is quiet? If you are drawn to do so, take some time to reflect on some or all of these domains in relation to resting in stillness.
2. What helps you still your linear mind?
