614 Sat. 15th 26 Awareness by Sunil

I am awareness.

I see, yet I am not the light.

I witness the candle flame, not the fire;

I know the sun, but not its dazzle.

The body vibrates,

yet I feel no pain.

The eardrum moves,

yet I do not hear.

The subtle breath moves,

catching quiet molecules,

sending signals to the brain—

yet I taste no scent.

Your kind words arrive,

bringing joy to the heart.

It quivers, sending nectar up the spine.

Still, I am only the witness.

I see myself in you,

ever so briefly.

Recognition—

I am love.

I am a mirror

reflecting the universe,

from the fallen leaf

to the flickering quasar.

I do not see or hear,

taste or think, love or hate.

I am only the mirror,

reflecting all the body lets in.

I have no shape, no size.

I begin nowhere, I end nowhere.

I am never absent.

Look for me—nowhere.
