Be Still Be Empty

A friend of mine who is a lecturer at a university. He sent this to me the other day. He is practicing Buddhism and this is bringing him a deeper understanding of stillness and emptiness. He is finding a higher intelligence not in books.

Still

Stillness, darkness, focus small
Still myself, in Anxiety’s thrall

Insight arises, shadowing focus
Anxiety is Habit, thats the locus

Keeping Self safe, your job is done
Self not needed, Empty is fun

Rest in Awareness, luminous, clear
Please may i always remember how near

Steel myself, to work once more
Still myself, OK, whats more!
