louder than a lion
yet it has no power against
the sweet and silent drops of meditation.
The mind can move
faster than lightning
yet it cannot outrun
the unmoving stillness in
the sweet and silent drops of meditation.
The moving mind seeks novelty and newness
yet it finds no rest, no solace
until it welcomes stillness
which is beyond mind.
That which we call the
familiar friend or home
recognises only itself.
The mind appears so powerful
so convincing
yet it has no resistance to
the sweet and silent drops of meditation.
