Written around the time that I attended the talks of the Indian philosopher Vimala Thakar . in 1980

                        Be gentle with the mind -

                        It is your own child ,

                        Yours , yet not yours  -



                   Be loving with the mind ,

                    It is yourself .



                   Be yourself  , in contact

                  With yourself -
 .
                  For seperation is deception.



                What you see , is your own

               Mirrored conciousness,

               The seer , is not seperate  

               From what it sees .


             
             There is no spectator -

             Only the mirror .
