Meditate Like a Wild One
Meditate for years.
Be as spiritual as
your fondest idea
of your perfect self.
My dear friend your back will never be straight enough.
Your mind never as still
for as long as you want.
If you meditate to get somewhere it is torture.
If you are trying to control yourself.
you are pissing on the truth.
It has never been said, "Be better so you can know that I am God."
It is
"Be still!"
"Be still and know that I am....."
This isn't a practice it is the moment.
This isn't an exercise it is the event.
It is happening now.
It needs nothing from you!
Meditate all wrong.
Mess it up.
Break the rules.
True meditation can only be discovered.
Meditate like a wild one.
Let life lead you as
it leads a bird through a forest.
It doesn't last an hour when you are in a quite room.
It is forever.
Let yourself be
without correction.
If correction happens let that be too.
The water doesn't say it should be deeper
or more still.
It just settles in
again and again.
Without effort or rest.
Without struggle or sloth.
You are the water!
So many meditate to see how much peace they can grasp.
But life isn't asking us to grasp.
It is begging us to let go.
