a leash on attention

This morning as I sat down for a quiet moment…
I began contemplating Omnipresent Silence

“attention” came up as thoughts were flitting by …
and a little dialog unfolded that got my attention …

I thought about my friend always putting a leash on his dog
before going for a walk …

“I’m going to put a leash on my attention …
a really really short leash so my attention cannot be separated
from Omnipresent Silence”

With all the myriad distractions in the world of appearances,
the awareness of the inseparable oneness of
ATTENTION AND OMNIPRESENT SILENCE
is the realized connection we are seeking

Being aware of OMNIPRESENT SILENCE,
here and now,
in the midst of every appearance is the
PEACE that passeth understanding …

With love and compassion we’re open to whatever the moment
offers up, facing it with AWARENESS of the ONENESS
of ATTENTION and OMNIPRESENT SILENCE …
