The Ocean __ AKSHR

The Ocean

Be like an ocean that remains

unchanged by changing circumstances

not like a river that

may shrink to muddy trickle in extreme drought

not like a lake that

can be drained by a single broken dam

or like a spring that may dry up in an hour

be like an ocean that remains

unchanged by changing circumstances

and by the coming and going of continents

and creatures. Be like sunlight, not like rain.

Be like the sky, not like a bird or plane.

Be still and rest in the blue world of your body—

that silent world where you’re one with everything.
