John Astin - Long before

To meditate is

to realize what has

always been meditating,

the vast and empty sky

in which the 

clouds of meditating

and not meditating

appear and

then disappear.

To meditate is to

realize this sky

that kissed the

clouds long before

we ever tried

to love what is.
