I was moved and inspired at Minyon Falls – I was confused at the idea to ‘just be’, of a ‘pure life’ and ‘harmony’. When we sit in quiet, calm the voices around us and listen to the silence, we can hear so much wisdom, so much of ourselves that we miss every day.
The damp ground and the
green light
hold the mystery of life
in their hands.
The drops glisten, giving
glamour and society;
the roar projects its voice as
if in the Vienna Opera.
The stillness mesmerises,
the beauty transfixes.
I long to sit in the midst
until I too glisten!
You are a mystery to me.
I look and don’t perceive,
I hear and don’t understand
for yours is pure life.
You live for the sake of living
You sit on the branch as if
there is no other care.
You are because you are!
I want this life –
to be just because I am,
to live among the Mystery,
with Harmony and Honour.
