In Nirvana

One of  my garden bird baths, minus water and feathered friend.

In Nirvana

3/7/10

Many spiritual teachers say

we are already here,

that Heaven's on Earth

and there's no separation,

though humans perceive differently

because of mind distortions

created from accumulated madness

centuries of warped thinking

passed generation to next,

if true, we're deaf,

dumb, blind, and clueless

even with our technology,

creativity, innovations that dazzle,

plus institutions, laws, transportation,

our ability to communicate

from satellites, cell phones,

computers, in multiple languages,

yet, simplicity escapes us,

missing opportunities to stop,

observe, be in miracle,

merge with as part

of whole, inextricably entwined,

where we 'real-eyes' truth

when watching bird antics

in joyful morning bath

going under water, fluttering,

coming up, splashing more,

bringing smile to face,

lightness to heart, soul,

experiencing life in Nirvana.
