The Possibility of Being

So just for fun, we might try on the possibility of

BEING every sensation, being every sound,

being every thought, and laughter, and fear.

Being experience itself, rather than the one

with all the preferences for nice feelings.
Rather than the one all this happens to,

or even the one who notices.
We might begin to notice our usual sense of self,

our everyday, I'm-right-here sense, disappear.

We might begin to notice the typical demands

of the mind go quieter. Since we are those too.

As the sense of ME dissolves into everything.
