Hay-Ku of the Day (Cloudy Mental Sky - Part 1 & 2)

"Pleasure and pain" are
Mental clouds passing through the
Sky of Awareness.

These Clouds of mental
Energy floating in space
Cannot touch the Sky.

***

Clouds of Energy
Cannot disturb the Peaceful
Sky of Awareness.

Mental hurricanes
Can not touch the Clear Sky of
Awareness Itself.

***

Awake to Being
The Clear Sky of Awareness
Underlying All.

Awake to Being
The Clear Sky of Awareness
You Already Are.

***

Clouds of energy 
Float in the Clear Sky of the
Awareness I Am.

Clouds of Energy
Can't disturb the Clear Sky of
Awareness I Am.

Part 2

I Am the Clear Sky
Of Awareness clinging to
Self-created clouds.

Neither Seer nor
Seen but the Clear Sky of the 
Awareness I Am.

***

Being the Seeing
Instead of a cloud in the
Sky of Awareness.

Being the Seeing
Of Clear Sky Awareness and
Not a mental cloud.

Being the Seeing
Of Clear Sky Awareness and
Not Seer or Seen.

***

Overlook the clouds
And Notice the Clear Sky of
Awareness You Are.

Stop chasing mental 
Clouds and See you are Clear Sky
Awareness Itself.

***

Focusing on clouds
Causes me to overlook the
The Clear Sky I Am.

Focus on mental
Clouds caused me to forget
Being Awareness.

***

Missing the Clear Sky
Of the Awareness I Am
Chasing mental clouds.

[Rich Note: Inspired by the following Dr. Pedro Cortina post: 

"The only way to end the cycle of pleasure and pain is to let go of seeking both. Who are you then?"]
