Presents
I give you emptiness,
I give you a plenitude,
Unwrap them carefully.
̶ One’s as fragile as the other ̶
And when you thank me,
I’ll pretend not to notice the doubt in your voice,
When you say they’re just what you wanted....
Unknown
In the fortified city of the imperishable,
our body, there is a lotus
And in this lotus is a tiny space.
What does it contain that
One should desire to know it?...
The Gift
Be still, my soul, and steadfast.
Earth and Heaven both are still watching
though time is draining from the clock
and your walk, that was confident and quick,
has become slow.
So, be slow if you must..
Lost
Stand still. The trees ahead and bushes beside you are not lost.
Wherever you are is called Here,
And you must treat it as a powerful stranger,
Must ask permission to know it and be known.
The forest breathes. Listen..
