Colin Drake's
strikingly playful poetry is featured today, exclusive to the
Highlights. Colin's books are now available in hard copy through
Lulu.com. Details below.
Awareness is
Nothing Special
Awareness nothing special
is,
Nondual there is only
This.
Which effortlessly
facilitates
Experience of ephemeral
states.
Every object comes and
goes,
Resting in its sweet
repose.
So more extra-ordinary
are they,
Than This, present come
what may …
Underlying the universe,
And manifestation so
diverse,
In which things arise and
reside,
Back into which all
subside.
Abiding in its natural
state,
Our consciousness so
innate.
This which informs the
mind
Of that which in the
world we ‘find’.
Alas the usual ego-state,
Tends Awareness to
under-rate.
Searching for something
more exotic,
Than this which we need
not ‘pick’.
Far and wide does the
mind roam,
Deluded, missing its true
home.
Seeking that which is
already here
Overlooked, being nearer
than near.
Just like a confused
cattle drover,
Not realizing the search
is over,
Whose herd he has already
found,
Out seeking their tracks
upon the ground!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This
I am This.
You are This.
We are This.
All is This.
Just This is.
Only This.
Thus,
No fuss,
Or us.
Not two,
Nor you,
Or Who?
Just One,
It’s Done.
Must run …
Have Fun!
