Angels Say

Angels say
Be clear
As air or water
Transparent and yielding
Unattached to form
What is form?
But the shape
The mind takes
On its excursions
Into what it calls reality
Enjoy the excursions
Do not become attached to the train


Be simple, as angels
Angels arrive in the moment of need
Then vanish
Allow thoughts to do the same
You cannot keep a thought from arising
But you do not have to dress it up in clothes
Because then it will want
To go out to dinner with you
Sleep next to you at night
And wake up with you in the morning
Even fatter

Angels say
Why entertain unnecessary thoughts?
Tell them you have other guests
Then make it so
If you have time to think
Useless thoughts
Especially of unworthiness
You have too much time

Plant a garden, clean windows
Write a poem, smile at someone
Solve an equation
Swim in a waterfall
The list is endless
So are thoughts
