No Where ?? Or Now Here ??

When I run after what I think I want, my days are a furnace of stress and anxiety; if I sit in my own place of patience, what I need flows to me, and without pain. From this I understand that what I want also wants me, is looking for me and attracting me. There is a great secret here for anyone who can grasp it. ~~Rumi


The dancing rays of the morning sun,

Here full, and here broken

Shimmering through the dark angry clouds;

Shining upon no where. Or Now Here ?

The sounds of the blue throated nightingales

Chirping in the midst of deafening silence;

On their waves, I ride high

To no where. Or Now Here?

The flight of the lone eagle

High above the wispy clouds

On its wings I ride, on Space and Time

To no where. Or Now Here?

Space and Time

Are they just a dot ? Or a continuum ?

Or even an infinite billion dots ?

Woven into a grand tapestry of Brahma.

The Cosmic Dance of Brahma

The Cosmic Dance of Vishnu
The Cosmic Dance of Shiva
All whirling around me, all at once

In the silence of nothingness.

Am I a performer in this Dance?
Or just a spectator?

Or a traveler in a journey

Where the journey is the destination

And the destination is no where AND Now Here.
