A Wave by Dean Solon

you sitting by the ocean, the waves rolling in, washing ashore, a few feet from your outstretching toes...
you swimming in the ocean, the waves rolling over you, washing you down...
you sitting, here, now, waves circulating and coursing through your body...
and you a wave, you the wave, splashing into the sand, and you the water receding back into the sea...

allowing an unfolding of intention, lightly...
allowing an unfolding of practice, lightly...
because this is not really about attaining anything,
because this is not really about achieving anything.

sitting...with the unexplainable, with the inexplicable, with the surprise, of breathing in and breathing out, of being with a body, with a mind, in a life, here and now.

sitting...with a pulsing, with a pervading, of awareness, of alertness, of your heart beating, of being here now.

here is the place
here is the place
now is the time

sit with this.  sit with this.
sitting with awareness of THIS, without attachment to THIS.
sitting with this...with this body, with this mind, with this life, with this breath.

here is the place
now is the time
