Haiku of the Day (Old Favorites List 6)

Attention: 

In attending to
That which is looking I see 
Myself as I Am. 

Focusing on my
End of the Perceptual
Stick what do I see?

What is seen when I
Attend to my end of the
Perceptual stick?

Is there a “face” on 
Your “end of perception” or 
Only Awake Space? 

Attention resting 
In the "Source of the next thought" 
Is Open to Grace.

Attention focused 
On the "Source of the next thought"
Is a Gateless Gate.

Is your Attention
On What You Really Are or 
A mental story?

Let attention rest 
In the conscious space between
Impulse and action.

[Rich Note: "Notice the source of the next thought" was a "skillful means" once suggested by Jackie O'Keeffe.]
