Why not now?

Why not now?
Why not this moment?
What holds you back from
complete awakening?

Mind, only mind.
Decades of habit and
belief in being human.
The habit of doing
defined by that doing
so compelling, so attractive
so addictive.

We have spent a lifetime
believing that doing human
is the pinnacle of success and happiness.
All experience meanwhile
proving this not to be the case.

Happiness is an internal
not external condition.

Listen to the heart
that knows
dwelling place of truth
reality, freedom.
Listen no more to the
long-winded, repetitive
bluster of the mind
convincing, conniving.
Listen to the silence
in the heart
saying so much.

Stop the outer search
it was only ever within.
Why not now?
Why not this moment?
