AN EXTRAORDINARY ABSENCE

How wonderful it is
to have no idea
what is going to happen.
To let life surprise you.
To wake up every morning
like a newborn baby,
the past wiped clean,
the future a mystery.
To know that everything will happen
exactly as it should.
To know that there is nothing higher,
more spiritual, more noble,
than getting out of bed,
brushing your teeth,
putting on your clothes,
walking out into the fresh air.
To understand that there is nothing to understand.
To live every day, every hour, every moment
knowing that it is your last day, your last hour, your last moment.
And to know that the last day is also the first,
And each final moment a new beginning.
To see presence in each and every little thing.
To see death not as the enemy
but as profound rest for the weary traveller.
To look out at the world and see only a love with no name
reflecting back at you.
