Why are we so often
Afraid of meeting
“the still point of the turning world*”?
Shall we drop down to the
center of Being?
Like a stone that no longer orbits earth
falling down and burning up in
the atmosphere
Are we afraid of meeting someone
we’ve been avoiding (for a long time)?
God? Self? Atman? Jesus? Krishna?
Who’s there?
It’s you
without limit, definition, clothes
without memories
Just you as silent radiant joyful consciouenss
