Waking in the early morning darkness
there was a moment, or even a few,
of pure, glorious nothingness.
It disappeared the moment I noticed it,
my once-empty mind now pondering
its own momentary stillness.
But observations were calm and quiet,
and space remained
in my heart and in my gut.
No pain, no ache, no knots.
Anxiety, longing, clinging...all absent
from their usual resting places within.
Peace.
Even as consciousness continued to build
I found nothing more than strength and ease.
The morning felt miraculous, as every morning is,
if we care to notice.
Stillness within the storm,
calm despite the chaos,
Love prevailing over it all.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
