Party Host

As the grog of sleep
slowly dissipates,
I become the day.

Light, sounds, sensation
fill the space of awareness
with no center to meet them
nor react to them.

The day doesn't judge or evaluate.
It lets the eternal dance
play right on through
like Kali on Shiva,
with no beginning or end,
the perfect host.

With no distinction between
body-mind and awareness
all edges are erased.
The great space of Being
is boundless.

Just as the day,
one become a perfect host
and the body, undistinguished
from the great body of Being.
lets the dance of phenomena
play its endless game.
