"Clarity and joy do not actually come and go. Eroneous conceptions based on an assumed separate self arise in thought and the attention goes to the thoughts. Because of this interest or belief in thoughts, we overlook the present and clear nature within us. -John wheeler

 "This silent presence is not a mere abscence of thoughts. It is alive. It is life itself." -Francis Lucille

Being the aware present stillness among the waves

you are clearly free and untouched like the sky

 Thoughts and feelings simply rise and fall

timeless awareness knows them all

 This pure rocklike knowing

 is

neither coming nor going

In the deep understanding of this

blooms the boundless bliss

A flow of  natural ease

so full of peace

Simply

as it

is
