While exploring the interconnection between Neuroscience and Nirodha this image of the stillness of thought waves (the cave behind the waterfall) arose and came through as a poem...
Rest yourself Inside
behind the veil of thoughts
Sit in the glow of the Cave
behind the waterfall
Dry and calm
Watch the descending current without judgment
Without taking pride in the water
Without scolding the water
Without wishing there was no water
Move within
Not easy
Nor is childbirth
Nor any process of Becoming
Most are closer to water than the Cave
Cold & drenched, hand scratching head
That’s okay
From beneath the water read the Sign Post:
"Move within. Now. Love you, Your Divinity."
Trust the moments of warmth
the glimpses of Light
the echoes of Silence
the hints of the Heart
Step out of the water
Some days very hard
Some days easier
Some days dry and warm
Some days wet all day
That's okay
Pratice watching the ‘lonely’, the ‘hurt’,
the ‘fear’, the ‘jealousy’,
the ‘right’, the ‘wrong’,
the ‘good’, the ‘bad’,
the ‘she’, the ‘he’,
the ‘I’, the ‘me’...
Endless drops
Watch and breathe...without judgment
...or maybe there is judgment...
That's okay
Practice again
Keep practicing
moving inwards
recede completely
into the Fire of the Heart
