Summer retreat 2021


As summer moved to autumn time

there gathered,
briefly,
in a field

mind-birds

of different hues
and raiment

Open and  engaged
they heard

what they were glad to hear –

re-minders,

prompts…

gestures of inclusivity

inviting them to be
at ease with non-duality 

to realise the basis of

the non-defining 
difference


of their radiant display …

as openness  –

the sameness
of their nature…

Bathed in the warmth
of wisdom’s 

self-arisen 

sun

– like morning mist

the lostness of
‘as-if’ beliefs

vanishes…

revealing  the ‘how’
of now-ness –

actuality

perfect

just ‘as it is’!

Meeting together in a field in England was not so easy for many of us this year… but happily Gareth made audio recordings of the teachings and has prepared them for us to share. Here is the link to find them on Simplybeing.co.uk
