Awakening Meditation

I wrote this poem a couple of days ago for Poetry Chaikhana. It is a *spiritual poem* in as much as the You refers not to a man but the sense of *god* we all have even if we're atheists... For me this god is one of ultimate Beauty which is Love. And the way to Love is through seeing one's own beauty. Most of us have been taught by the mirrors of religion, family, society, peers, ethnicity, intelligence, wealth, health, etc. that to be who we are, exactly as we are is less than beautiful. That's the beginnings of self-loathing, which are the fingers that extend into the world of hate.

That's it, Ross, isn't it? Once we have experiences of the spirit, there's an internal silence that remains undisturbed. And presence itself does the convincing. Both Ram Dass & Neem Karoli Baba are of the crazy mystics school. I tend to see myself in that light. lol.

Thank you All. Your presence is a gift. ~A "The plain man is familiar with blindness and deafness, and knows from his everyday experience that the look of things is influenced by his senses, but it never occurs to him to regard the whole world as a creation of his senses." ~ Ernst Mach
