Hay-Ku of the Day (Perfect Practice)

“Step Back, Let Go and

Drop” Into “Open Hearted

Awareness” Right Now.

“Step Back, Let Go and

Drop” Into “Being Open

Hearted Awareness.”

***

A “Perfect Balance”

Of “Principle and Practice”

“Resurrecting Peace.”

The “Only Thing” Loch’s 

“Book Needs” to “Take You Home” is

“You Being Ready!”

***

Abiding as the

Open Hearted Awareness 

Of Being Itself.

Abiding as the

Open Hearted Awareness 

That Underlies All.

***

Abiding as the

Still Point Peace at the Heart of

Awareness Itself.

Resting in Peace as

The Perfect Still Point at the

Heart of Awareness.

[Rich Note: The first six haiku above were directly inspired by Lock Kelly’s “Effortless, Mindfulness Now, Awake to Our Natural Capacity for Focus, Freedom, and Joy,” an audio book I hold in the highest regard, as the following Amazon review of the title attests:

“Delivers the Goods!!!

“A Perfect Balance

Of Principle and Practice

Delivers the Goods.

“A wonderful ‘cut to the chase audio book’ for anyone interested in a very practical way of resolving the problem of personal suffering inherent in the human condition.

“Highly recommended for seekers and non-seekers alike; including those who may be novices or experts in matters of contemplative, meditative, spiritual and/or mindfulness practice.”

“Rich Hay, Major, USAF (Retired)

“Author of ‘Out of My Mind and Back to My Senses, The Object of Life is to Find Out Who I Am Before Time Runs Out’”

P.S.1: Interestingly enough, Lock’s book has a floating dandelion seed on the cover very much in keeping with the spirit of the following haiku favorite:

Floating dandelion 

Seed softly lighting upon

An un-grasping hand.
