Let's Think about It

It's better (best, even)

that I not think.

For too long I've allowed the cerebral

to guide me,

and the result has been

nothing to write home about.

No, from here on

(and I wonder how long that "on" will be)

it'll be me and the heart,

the feeling,

the sensing.

Oh, I might need to filter

the occasional event through the brain,

but my clear intention is to keep the brain

out of it.

Once I drop the thinking

there'll be a lot of sinking

into the softness of what can be soft;

into the pain of what is and cannot be otherwise;

into the pure joy of tiny sights and scenes;

into the wonders that arise from

accepting radical benevolence as a watchword.
