Take Heart

Walk in peace,

for none of this

has ever touched you.

No circling, tossing tides

can surge into your calm.

You are held 
in the Mind

that thinks up everything —

It thinks up you

as clearly and as firmly

as it thinks the stars.

It thinks you through and through —

It fashions everything you are —

no gaps nor fuzziness, 

confusion nor regrets.

Walk in peace,

for Mind is holding you

in cherished ease,

fully enfolding you.

There is no moment

where it blinks out

and so your being

is ever clear.
