Learn to pass underneath
Beneath all the layers
There’s a stream
It’s always been there
But the gaze was fixed outward
And swept away in the particulars
Leave them alone
They’re fine
Reach down through
and touch the stream
It will touch you too
You’ll know its sweet taste filling your mouth
Its fragrance filling your head
Its exquisite feel melting your body
Its endless breath will be your last
Its lush flow carrying you deeper
Its empty space dissolving your mind
Its unmovable stillness
You’ll never know how it came and went
But you’ll love it all
