[Riantee Rand]

> 
> Ocean’s Advice
>  
> Today the ocean
> flat as a lake
> serene.
>  
> I dive into the icy embrace
> when the ‘doing’ temptation
> threatens to swallow me up.
>  
> Not a wave detaches itself from the source,
> all remain unified,
> joined in allowance of the surrounding munificence,
> the infinite presence
> in each grain of sand.
>  
> The small ripples on the surface
> do not break the flow,
> just a caress on the spine of the whole
> slightly set apart by shapes, shadows, shades,
> a pointillist painting with no beginning and no end,
> eternally tranquil in its constant motion,
> changing and transforming
> without ever going anywhere.
>  
> It has always been there!
>  
> To let go with the most grateful acceptance
> of what is
> is the gift of the ocean for today;
> my lesson
> on this journey to nowhere,
> this traveling in place,
> the place I have never left.
