LIVING IN THE EXPANSIVE FREEDOM OF THIS INFINITE and LUMINOUS NOW “I know I will be free of all suffering When I finally learn how to live in this nowness…” —Yeshe Gyamtso I keep bringing my mind back Into this very present moment When I notice that it has drifted away On the incessant flow of thoughts. Only when I am here in this sparkling Moment can I say I am fully alive And living in the expansive freedom Of this infinite and luminous now. Every day is an endless stream of Experiences mixed between good and Bad, pleasurable and painful, loving and Frightening as I rise and fall on this Ocean of time that I must swim Through on each and every breath— In all my lifetimes, this swimming Has been going on and on… As my heart seeks the answers To all of its questions and My spirit seeks to cross the veils Of separation and reunite with the inner Beloved who is always calling and Beguiling me to come ever closer And closer until we are one again, Calling me to live in Love now, To find my way back to that awakened State where and when I know I will be Free of all veils, free of all barriers, Free of all suffering when I finally learn How to live in this nowness forevermore. February 25, 2024 Shambhala Monastery
