For a few minutes
you are the Buddha.
A gift to yourself,
though you know
there is no
giver, gift
or receiver,
only quiet and peace.
Not difficult at all.
Sit down; be quiet.
Listen for the nothing
you really are.
It will come and go,
but when it comes,
you will be real
and you will know.
I sit every morning for 20 minutes. It's not magic. It just makes you part of the flow. Sometimes I am particles; sometimes waves; but mostly, just a quiet man sitting.
