Temptations to Love

Take time today
my Dear.

Unsee the things you see.

Unknow the things you know.

Especially, unhear them.

If seeing sneaks into
your trained eyes, close them.

If opinions sneak into your reason untie them.

If hearing causes you to unhear-
then dismiss the words.

At hand there is nothing
greater than unleashing these
in front of you
in truth, inside.

I risk a lot
even speaking of such
to you.

But this secret is a good one.

Keep nothing in mind.

See without seeing.

Unhear all that
clutters the heart and robs your peace.

Suddenly you will see.
Suddenlly you will hear.
Suddenly you will understand.
