There is

what is seen

what is thought

what is felt.

Behind that,

there is

who is seeing

who is thinking

who is feeling.

Even further behind that,

there is

who is seeing the seer?

who is observing the thinker?

who is noticing the feeler?

Go as far back as you can

behind the objects & events in your world

behind the thoughts in your mind

behind the emotions of your being--

Joy awaits!

Joy abounds!

Smile into this freedom

& then greet the day with exuberance & quiet compassion.
