Erratic breath
Scattered attention
Pacing mind
Present not enough
Poised on becoming
Overlooking being
Pause dear One
Life happens here, now
Not in past or future
Take a short break
And see what nature reflects
About the way of healing
Smell the fragrance of flowers
Hear the birds sing
And the animals chatter
See the Sun rise and set
Feel wind blow
Look at clouds form
Watch the rainfall
Taste sweet honey
Beautiful! Joyous!
Is it not!
Scattered attention cannot know
This beauty and joy
That rested attention can
Knowledge cannot know
This beauty and joy
That unlabeled experience can
Why so?
Rested attention takes you
Closer to your real source
Where attention is not
Caught in the coming and going
Rested attention takes you
From knowing this and that
To the knowingness
That is your real nature
Love
Sundar.
