New Paradigms

With a still mind,
and calm heart…
one becomes
an empty vessel
for the universe.

Secondhanddreampoet,

I'm sure there is wisdom in this little gem. I just wish I could accomplish it. Do you have any hints in that direction?

So true, Bruce. I am working on it, not easy for an impatient, opinionated person like me.

In addition to 'receiving' the beauty of 'all', opening up to that quintessential Universal moment, also allows one's 'self' to expand, thereby releasing 'uniqueness' to flow into an awaiting universal collective spirit.

I hope it's not true, I strive to be calm in this crazy world, to have a still mind is more difficult for me than anything else....However you mean it's a great and very profound clever poem...

Dittoing Midnitesun's response!!! That may be a cop out, but she expressed my own thoughts better than I could!

An empty vessel that the universe will fill with all its wonders under the prescription you have written Dr. Bruce!

Another splendid write with just the right touch of the romantic!

Bruce,

This could become a mantra - and a reminder of how small and insignificant we truly are.

I am always loving your poetry.
