The human
who has been conditioned
to living in duality
is always seeking
something more
to push beyond their limits
to attain more success
to experience more drama
only to crash and burn
as the pendulum swings
in the opposite direction.
Even spirituality
has one on a path
of constantly seeking
more of themselves
expansion of the I Am
attainment of a higher path
the expression of goodness
eradication of darkness
an escalation of the light
a more explosive
orgasmic experience.
Between the excessive
swings of the pendulum
there is a zero point
a stillness
a silence
a point of balance
a sense of harmony
when we pause
and take a breath
the extremes
of the pendulum cease.
When we
abandon the search
of reaching outside ourselves
when we listen and abide
by our innate rhythms
a sublime pleasure
sweeps through us
and at our core
we discover
there is a gentle
sweetness to life.
