Observation

By: Steve Ridley

Beings doing, within all manner of assumption

Striving to connect, to align, to resonate with nourishment

Journeying amidst hopes and fulfillment yearnings
that arise from tomorrows and yesterdays

To attract or manifest “love” is laborious!
like forcing light through heavy laden clouds
or crawling through corridors of accumulated sludge,
desperately desiring to exit by chance

The mind factory, designing formidable phantoms of self-absorption,
producing love-diluting attachment-expectations,
fueled impartially by a dispassionate Force that fosters either
contentment-clarity or the seduction of delusive dramas

We may seek conceptual confirmations
or arrive at trust

We can co-project the Is or the Ain’t, without distinction

What effort we exert to protect and assert our murky mind phantoms,
to manufacture superimposed restraints of conformity

Unceasing fresh observation, dissolves transitory entrapments,
banishing fraudulent discontent

We are Love,
and joyously Complete, now!
