Today I am plagued by nothing
No flotsam and jetsam to be disposed of
No old stories no entanglements

This feeling is too new to write about
So unfamiliar that I must search for new words
With which to describe it

There is a calm peaceful emptiness
That I have no desire to disturb
The conditioning has not pulled me back
Into filling the space with mindless activity

This feels good this present moment awareness
And so I have spent the day
Flowing gently and effortlessly to the next thing
As both the doer and the witness…
