Good Medicine
The all-embracing gaze
of non-dual awareness,
the supreme medicine
for existential dis-ease.
Standing beyond time and space,
it gently allows
all conditional movement
to tire and exhaust itself,
like an overactive puppy.
The dawning of this antidote
awakens the View
to the Ocean of Being
no different than itself,
apprehends the ripples and waves
for what they truly are,
thus undermining the drama
and birthing deep humor,
through the graceful fortune
of its vantage point.
Infinitely distant
yet profoundly involved,
a curious paradox -
the coincident arising
of indifference and love.
Untouchable yet vulnerable,
powerful as the sun,
yet soft as a newborn.
This supreme advantage,
an eternal surfboard
riding the waves
of conditioned existence,
with infinite patience,
blankets of equanimity
and whispers of love.
