In every instant there’s dying and coming back around
… This world is a moment,
a pouring that refreshes and renews itself so rapidly
it seems continuous,
as a burning stick taken from the fire
looks like a golden wire when you swirl it in the air,
so we feel duration as a string of sparks.
Happy New Year dear Stillness Speaks community … May this year be filled with continuous sparks of joy, peace and contentment …
Any cup I hold fills with wine
that lovers drink. Every word
I say opens into the mystery.
Any way I turn I see brilliance.
