labyrinth

we weave our way

through a labyrinth of delusion

only to find that our thinking

has led us astray,

it is then

in that very moment

we see the ineffable truth

manifest

in the rising sun

or a floating cloud

or even a busy moment

on our way to start the day.

why is this so difficult,

when life and existence

is so simple?

it is because we love

our stories

and our opinions

and our logic

and our accomplishments

and our life

that we delude ourselves

into thinking we are living.

take back your life

and see this moment

outside of thought,

outside of time

and outside of space,

then what is left

is the only reality

we will ever know.
