The Chalice of My Awareness
I was searching
for an Entrance to
The Mystery
when I
stumbled into
one from the
business end of
my Sacred Couch.
It came to me,
between naps,
to attempt to
meditate,
though I suspected
that would lead,
inexorably,
to another nap.
It further came to me
that I should hold
a Mantra
in the Chalice of
My Awareness
that went something
like this:
I Am
Who
I Am
Who
I Am.
I knew
I should cover
the Chalice,
that thoughts
that I should be
other or
better or
different than
I Am
Who
I Am
could simply
evaporate,
without corrupting
the Elixir in
the Chalice.
Sure enough,
in a handful of
moments
I awoke,
deep in
The Mystery.
I recognized
the laughter
at the notion
that I should be
other or
better or
different than
I Am
Who
I Am.
