I met myself without my story,
inside of my beautiful mind.
We made peace,
my mind, and I.
In here,
I am clear.
I am free.
I am awake.
I am only noticing.
Simply flowing back and forth,
with little effort,
my brilliant imagination
in perfect sync with the calm,
silent melody of knowing.
It is quiet,
without war.
There is no thinking,
no judging,
no focusing,
over analyzing
or searching,
no yearning for more.
I can fly,
untethered to old stories
of loss and abandonment,
of feeling unloved and unwanted.
I am unattached
to past lessons and experiences.
I am still.
Noticing and nothing else.
It is such a beautiful world
when you don t know and just notice.
A future can’t be seen
with no past to project.
I am here, with myself,
bare and naked.
I am empty,
yet, I feel whole
I am at peace.
