Constancy

Awareness
like transparent space
extends in all directions;
everywhere all at once,
nowhere in particular.  

Clear.
Boundless.
Incomprehensible.

Appearances
arise and pass
like clouds
in crystal sky;
seeming to exist
then becoming something else. 

Free. 
Dynamic. 
Ungraspable. 

Awareness
self-luminous
can't be attained. 
Appearances
self-resolving
can't be apprehended. 

Spiritual effort
is superfluous. 

Water
doesn't
strive 
to be
wet. 

Just
stop
struggling!

Awakening
is recognition
of what is
so-of-itself. 

Already. 
Always. 

Feeling body;
form revealing openness. 
Perceiving mind;
openness birthing form.

Our practice
is abiding
in unending
fluid
suchness.

Sit.
Stillness reveals movement.

Dance.
Movement unveils stillness. 

Constancy
of spontaneous play
embodied.
