Our Silence Beckons

Our silence beckons

Compassion and clarity emerge

Connection and wholeness blossoms.

Our true essence emerges from the silence we offer it

Allowing …

Deep listening

Deep presence

Self-acceptance

Old views that no longer serve dissipate

Beliefs, perspective, titles, roles the same

A more expansive view emerges

Who are you now?

The union of compassion and wisdom is Zen spirituality

Open heart, wiser choices

Cultivating awareness is the key

Witnessing the arising and passing

 Of thoughts, feelings and perspectives

While meditating and

As we go about our day

This mindfulness shifts 

Our outlooks

Our actions

Our very presence

Who we are

Are you ready

For your silence

To transform

To allow insight and freedom

Your true essence revealed and embraced?
