Underneath the busy mind is crystal clear, open awareness.

Underneath an overfull heart is simple presence.

Underneath our busy activity and action is bare-naked-being.

Speaking of the reality above, I hope you enjoy my original poem below.

It was inspired by my practice of Centering Prayer.

Letting Go

Letting go of thoughts and thinking
We sink into
Deep Mind.

Letting go of emotion and feeling
We sink into
Deep Heart.

Letting go of action and doing
We sink into
Being.

Letting go of self and other
We sink into
God.

Letting go of letting go
We recognize
That we were never holding on.

We’ve always
And only ever
Been held.
