“Begin your practice by finding an empty mind…”

                                                                         –Keri Gaddis, yoga guide

 

Find it,

not create it

or try to will it into being.

Find it.

It’s there,

nestled between

logic and dreams,

hidden underneath

facts and fears.

Find it.

Turn on your flashlight,

plow through piles of thoughts,

corridors of want,

attics of memory.

Find it.

 

Then what?

Clutter it with ideas,

stack it high with plans?

No.

Walk right into that cool room

with cloud-colored walls,

just stand there for a while.

Practice being,

study stillness,

explore quiet.

Set yourself free

from yourself,

hover there.
