Reading Eckhart Tolle

Break from your story,
Drama of your history.
Roll up that old scroll!

Clinging to story,
Burden of past and future.
No present moment.

The fullness of life
arrives through a narrow gate
This present moment.

Excessive thinking,
Non-stop voice of the ego
Knows nothing of love.

The voice in your head
doesn't have a clue you are
Deeper than your thoughts.


Preciousness of Being
An aliveness deep within --
Your true specialness.

Inner spaciousness,
Experience of Presence
Brings love into life.

No need to change them.
Allow everyone to be.
You can be happy!

Not getting; getting.
Ways of being unhappy --
Compulsive striving.

What's most important?
The sacred, divine, the true.
Be still. And find love.
