A shift in perception

A shift in energies
from sleep to wake
eyes open
body moves
performing a ritual morning dance
of toileting and dressing.
The sky lightens as
this magnificent orb
rolls slowly towards
our source of energy and life.

A shift in perception
reverting to habitual thinking
believing I wake up, I dress
I greet the morning, the outside dawn.
A shift in perception to right view
I am a dancer
partaking in the dance
of light and dark, moving harmoniously.
The elements and energies
causing this body
to move, think, feel, perceive
are simultaneously creating
what is often called
a beautiful sunrise.

A shift in perception
laying down the cloak of pretence
that I am I, you are you
separated by a vast gulf of
individualism.
Let’s meet in the space
of understanding
of recognition.
The Awakened nature in me greets
the Awakened nature in you.
I apologise for not always viewing you
this way
I don’t always see myself
as One.

A shift in perception
adjusting and balancing.
I greet I.
In this moment
everything is rightly viewed.
In this space
dualistic opposites no longer
hold sway.
In this space of deathlessness
and birthlessness
no right and wrong
nothing to achieve or become
perfection already abounds.
