Rabbin, Rob - FEELING
Just beyond the thinking mind
is an unending field of love and quiet beauty.
One can lie down there, and live in eternity.
This field cannot be seen by the mind,
it cannot be known by the mind;
it can only be felt with the heart.
The thinking mind is too wooden to know
this kind of beauty and wonder;
the thinking mind has no feeling, it has no soul.
It can only calculate distance and weight and price.
The thinking mind does not love,
it does not laugh, it does not cry.
The thinking mind only argues and defends;
it justifies its soulless existence with violence.
That is why we must live in the heart,
not in the thinking mind.
That is why we must learn what that life is like,
lived within the heart,
lying in the fields of beauty,
where we can feel the soul and Silence of existence.
And now we can cry, and laugh, and love.
And now we live in this field of eternity,
where the thinking mind is just a single flower,
barely visible,
in the midst of tall grasses under blue skies and hundreds of suns,
whirling and spinning within and without
