Sea of Awakening Poem

On the Sea of Awakening

There is an imperative

that requires you to blossom.

Just as the flower opens,

as a responding to light

And the butterfly emerging into flight

as an expression of fulfillment of being

With pure attention and intention,

 it is a tasting into mystery that is.

Start with feeling this moment,

beyond conceptional understanding.

Feel the energy that is you, a primal pulsing,

and the delight that is its right action.

Let enlightenment be revealed to you

with this breath, and the next.

Becoming empty to become all that is,

non-separation as authenticity.

There is a givenness to this moment

that blesses you and all around you.

Open to this sea of awakening.
