Chi (Spring 1991)

By: Carmen Brocklehurst

To a mind that is still,
the whole universe surrenders.
Maintain the unity of your will.
Do not listen with the ears,
but
with the mind.
Do not listen with the mind,
but
with the Chi.
The function of the ears end
with hearing;
that of the mind
with symbols or ideas.
But the Chi is an emptiness
ready to receive
all things.
