Pure Seeing
Whatever arises
does so now, here,
grace to Pure Awareness,
perceivable only
as many “times”
as attention was
denied, ignored or
put elsewhere
than
resting as this
Heart of
Pure Awareness.
So many chances
each day
to look directly
at what arises.
No need to go back
to old stories,
attachments, wounds,
conditioning.
Just pure seeing,
then directing
attention
to the subtle witness
that projects
these images
onto the movie screen
one by one
until only
pure seeing
remains
in this dream
of otherness,
lucid dreaming
through
Grace’s wakeful
Heart present-ness.
The subtle witness
and its myriad arisings,
no matter what their form,
appearance, appeal, resistance,
always one and the same,
both void of
intrinsic reality,
empty in and of themselves
as Pure Awareness
is All.
Embracing them
via pure seeing,
their sting
peacefully dissolves,
the little wave
surrenders onto the shore
and knows itself
as water again as
the sun ray is
representative of
all pervading
Light
shining
as Heart Awareness
only,
right here,
right now
where clouds
seemed to veil
our eternal
Light.
