Moments of Experience
Dissolving like rain
Moments of experience
are dissolving and flowing,
swirling and sliding
in the slipstream
of the everyday passing present,
a slow continuous torrent
of feeling and knowing,
touch, light and sound,
like rain streaming
off the windshield of a car,
or the slow flow of river water
on its way to the ocean.
And one day
we’ll maybe find
we’re dissolving gently into
an endless conscious space,
an unlimited consciousness
that’s always been inside us,
and we’re realizing
it’s everywhere, in everyone
and we’re experiencing
the last moments
of our life as a human being.
The transience of all experience
reminds us of the impermanence
and fragility of a human life.
Any moment can be
our last moment.
And we can find
the endless conscious space
that’s changing the fabric of itself
into all life and all experience of life,
the universal consciousness
un-altered by thought,
like an ocean untouched by wind,
by taking a focus of attention inward.
