it is here
in the breath
it is here
in the stillness between breaths
     it is here
     in the active mind
     it is here
     in the resting mind
it is here
in the dream's panorama
it is here
in each moment of awakening
     it is here
     when all is well
     it is here
     when fear has nothing left to fear
even then
there is pure noticing 
even then
there is no need for doing
     no frantic searching
     can find the obvious
     no seeking needed
     to find that which seeks
it is here
where it can never be lost
or found


-- from the Gifts with No Giver: a love affair with truth, by Nirmala
