Myself Aware

To find myself aware: 

that it's without effort, always present, and unwavering through its hold of my attention - to find myself aware is a constant surprise of wonder, and becomes a meditation of each moment. Nothing has to change, nor present itself in any different way for this to be. I'm aware, and life flows in details, offering a glimpse of my own reflection. 

to be aware is to find my true connection, yet deeper still, intimate - a seamless embrace of sight to object, silence to sound, and my own welcome to the sensations of the world. It's all without a veil of separation. Awareness is the end to every inquiry, without need of any answer but the stillness that it holds. And again, it's all gifted, not achieved through mantra, nor imparted from anyone who claims to know a secret, sacred way. 

it's what I am from birth to present moment.

ask, am I aware? 

and the world opens itself to this awareness, and more, that it always has, and this indeed was all I ever searched for, just this, aware, and knowing that it's so. To find myself aware, and that this is how I hold the world, everything equal in belonging, each item cherished through the same attention - it's my initial and final understanding...

that I am.
