Dancing Minnows




Dancing minnows 
What do they know?
Of water or sunlight or shadows
And what do they think
Of ripples or waves or vast ocean

Look!
They just flow within it all
No effort or worry
Just one more dance among the cosmos

Why must you do any more?
Pay no mind ... No Mind! 
Find your way with choiceless awareness 

Have you sensed it?  
That tingling ...  that connection 
Among, within, and as a part of Nature  
To all beings ... to all that IS. 

Your mind will protest ... that’s understood
 This is beyond your your thinking mind
Beyond me, my, and mine
Beyond I'm right and your wrong
Beyond past regrets and future plans

There is a wholeness 
Just ... Be ... Here ... Now ...
(Thank you Ram Dass)

Where preferences are a hindrance,
opinions are burdensome, and
beliefs are anything-but True faith
Where opposites just flow together

Can you accept good ... and evil?
Can you accept us ... and them?
Can you accept life ... and death?
Not separate ... nor superior

Just Reality as it IS
So simple ... even a child can understand
Let go of concepts that keep you old and stale
Become child-like again ... see everything fresh and new
