Bamboo Shadows


“The bamboo shadows are sweeping the stairs
But no dust is stirred.
The moonlight penetrates the depths of the pool
But no trace is left in the water .” Zen saying.

The greatest truths are the most subtle.
God’s grace is lighter than the touch of a butterfly wing.
To experience the Divine, be in harmony with its quiet song.
Be still and silent to hear the whisper of perfection in the Heart.
Between deep sleep and waking there is a brief moment:
pure awareness, Being without name or form.
Seize this moment! Taste it. Return to it again and again.
Stop thinking! Stop seeking!
Go straight to the root. Return to the Source.
When mind becomes still and sinks into the depths of silence,
That ocean of Self is endless, blissful peace.
