In Having Nothing, I Have It All

Some may call me a fool,
but I say, with an inner smile
so subtle as to be invisible to the naked eye:
"In having nothing, I have it all."

Thus I am neither a winner or a loser,
neither a success or a failure;
I am neither positive or negative,
right or wrong, good or not good;
in fact, in my mind
my spirit rests neither as this or as that.

In spirit I know I am not the personality or ego,
the image that was born and that must die;
in spirit I intusee We,
the One pure Intelligence who fills my heart with joy.

In spirit, in ourself as a Whole,
life is a continuum, not a separation;
in spirit we were never born nor will we ever die,
tho' my image will,
as all things conceived pass into oblivion.

Like clouds in the sky,
all conceptions must move on--
but the sky remains Still--
even in watching the clouds come and go;
for my mind clings to nothing,
and having nothing, has it all.

Thus I don't do meditation,
I am meditation, living meditation;
thru every thing-event of the day
I am aware of the Stillness Within
penetrating my image, as the Presence of God
fills my heart and soul with Ourself...
with Life that was never born and will never die.

Such is my refuge and my strength;
and even to the ends of the earth
I will follow the Living Light
shining thru my every thought...
the pure Being who brings such Joy to my heart
that my pride cannot but melt into nothing.

Some may call me a fool,
but I say, with an inner smile
so subtle as to be invisible to the naked eye:
"In having nothing, I have it all."
