Certain Poem by thomas skypembrook

if the mind is certain in a certain bend
then it is definitely making a mistake.
takuan says the mind mustn't stop,
must meet everything that comes.
the mind perceives everything without being concerned.
it is with pristine awareness,
the mind must be aware of all
but not taken in.
you don't have identification with anything.
you are freely on the loose.
when you meditate,
you have pristine awareness.
it extends to mushin.
a mind that is aware of the one point of aikido.
the art of gentleness is the force.
the energy flows through the mind, body and soul.
heavenly delights are the energy.
you are one with the universe.
the energy carries you to the highest magic.
power of uniting with the universe is in an instant.
when your mind is ready everything is ready.
nothing is crude.
everything is sublime and subtle.
no goal
like the cloud of unknowing.
like zazen.
peace sweeps all over you.
you are truly full of grace and glorious,
as an existence your being
is a testament to the power
of the universe.
life is so beautiful.
life is so exciting.
bring out the wonders and miracles of the universe.
