Genuine Being

Open to the expanse that is before you

In the luminous clarity

Of awakened mind

Perfect reality ... genuine being 
Can be suddenly realized

Simply by letting go 

Of the incessant  distractions 

Of our own conceptual mind


Opening to the awareness that is
awakened mind

Attending to life and existence 
In this Gaia-Earth, Life-Net


And in this
Discovering life unfolding with profound beauty
As we continue on our Dharma trail: Vereda

Only known through direct experience,

The abode of all the buddahs
Awakened awareness
Presence
