It’s 3am….
I have ‘restless body syndrome’
The immortal me wants to talk
I have 2 parts
The mortal me
And the immortal me
The ‘human being’ me
And the ‘being human’ me
The indoctrinated
And the unindoctrinated

When I start to meditate
I breathe deep
I find stillness and silence
The body calms
The emotions calm
The mind calms
At first there’s confusion
Then everything settles

Like the windows on a computer
Emotion and thought shut down
Allowing the immortal me to come forward
That which is always looking out my eyes
Who I talk to when I talk to myself
Still, silent, and always present
Who I have always been
Who I was before I was born
Who I am when my body passes

How does the immortal me talk?
In stillness and silence
In peace and quiet
It’s the real me
Always present
A place of refuge
A place to find peace

It might be 3am
But I’m grateful to be reminded
The human being is an avatar
That which is being human is the reality
