Unraveling
Meditation is simply unraveling.
The fabric of our minds, thought, dissolves naturally.
Barriers fall when we become quiet.
That is all of our task, our only job
To allow everything to settle
To allow the events of our lives to unwind within.
It is a seemingly endless and therefore hopeless task,
But in reality we naturally flow toward resolution, toward peace.
There are many ways to view this process.
One is entropy: as the universe runs down, so do our minds empty.
We will know peace through waiting
And there are no right or wrong answers, only process.
The Way lies within each of us
In the resolution of confusions, fears, anger, loneliness.
The busy noise from within will subside when we are still.
There is a silence within, but we cannot hear it.
Listen for it. You will know it when you hear it.
If you wish, you may argue with any idea.
Listen and you will hear that you are not arguing.
The argument argues: you are only an observer.
You do not fight nor resist.
Only the fight fights, and the resistance resists.
When you accept these forces as apart from yourself
Not acting in your best interest.
You may watch your thoughts as we watch a child
Accepting and loving the helpless blundering
That is as ancient as humanity,
As basic as the fall of mankind
Yet resolution, forgiveness, and love
Are as natural as the wind and the rain and moonlight.
Be still and allow all things to be exactly as they are.
It is through acceptance that the soul is what remains
When the illusions are allowed to dissolve of their own accord.
Only the truth will remain
Inexpressibly beautiful
Hopeless to communicate
Ecstasy to be trusted
Fellows to be loved
No explanations to be offered
In simple reality.
