RICHARD MOSS ON MEDITATION

M   E   D   I   T   A   T   I   O   N

MEDITATION holds the possibility

of collapsing the separation

between thinking and being,

between me and you

between me and God.

MEDITATION is the art of intimacy with oneself.

Intimacy with the agitation and the stillness of mind.

Intimacy with how awareness collapses into moods,
into pain and discomfort, into reminiscing, into
plans and creates the continuous series of me(s)
- that endlessly sustain our egos.

Me who loves
Me who fears
Me who strives
Me who capitulates
despairs, exults, dies
Me(s) to fix

Intimate with all this and not to judge,
just to see, to feel
the presence of awareness.
