Seed

This is the

natural progression of things:

the seed grows

in the husk and

then the husk sloughs off.

Know the difference. There is

no arrogance in either. If

you must make something

of a shell you no longer need,

do it with love.

But when you feel the wind

slant and soft

in some new morning,

all you have to do is

fall away.

Be the seed

you are, germinating in this soil

of present life.

Stay here, go deep,

open to everything,

learning to breathe in the

untellable freedom of consciousness.
