Blue Sky

In a clear blue sky, a jagged streak of lightning is a sudden, instantaneous flash of awareness.
In the inner sky, thought clouds float and disappear, blown before the mantra wind.
Like a mother's womb, the empty blue space contains all creation.
Clouds appear, change shape, float by and disappear.
Blue sky remains untouched, unchanged, forever.
Now imagine if  the infinite sky forgot its true identity
And identified itself with a cloud.
Experiencing birth and growth and movement and change and annihilation
As its life-story.
This is what has happened to you.
You have lost your way in cloud-land.
You, who were infinite perfect sky, have fallen again and again into the deception of the projected " I"
and go from cloud to cloud in endless lifetimes of pleasure and pain.
Wake up! Return home.
Be your true Self....in sweet infinite blue ecstasy!
Be the empty sky and be free!
