The mind is all sky * 4/13/12

To train the mind,

using elusive schemes

to escape the method in place

as dictated by conscious habit,

is to transcend the daily rituals

and the general manipulation

of familiar props

to divine the now

with a full presence

unencumbered by expectations

or by previous remembered

experience

or by recognition as proof

or by secured theme as story line

or by any momentum

of dumb down happening.

Self-consciousness, in general,

Has been the back seat driver

with entitlement intent.

All of this as history to now

is an experience echo,

but never in the immediate now

yet closely associated with it.

Most of our current think is really

a paparazzi of consciousness

forever chasing after

and hounding the eminent now,

as if it is a celebrity a new.

Where our think is immersion,

answers are only rescue ring buoys

as realities tossed our way.

It all happens before

inner speak coronates it.

Most of the time,

we sit in the bleachers

of ourselves,

post confetti and streamers

if it’s good,

or holding

wrench folded program

of expectations

gone sadly bad.

With conclusions drawn,

it is now on

to the next text event

of our lives

however large, small,

interior or grand.

This leaves us

a fast diffusing account

of present moments as past,

dumbfounding but justified.

If anyone has found a way

to escape this riddle

of conscious existence

and displays accordingly,

a crisp vital presence of being,

we glom on to them to stop

and pray tell,

how do you do that!

Which, of course,

ends the flow

as it now was, in most cases.

Each person’s ritual into the now

is a sacred self-secret

of their private internal

motherboard process,

anchored in soul

and expressed as heart.

Sharing the broadcast

of the harmonics of that

provides a safe environment

for others to leap also

as if the premise is:

You don’t fly

because you don’t have wings,

but you need to leap

to grow wings

and then fly!

The mind is all sky . . .
