Order

I constantly want to put my life into ‘order’.
Regular sleeping, eating, rising, exercising, meditating.
All these to improve my skill at being here now,
all these to focus awareness into my life.

But these are only half-way measures
these are posing to become the pose,
attempts to shortcut to the pervading awareness
but limiting of that which I’d be aware.

But it’s in these rooms and moments, chaotic,
where the white noise of change never sleeps,
that I will find myself ‘aware’
unoposed … untried … unstopped….
