Hidden Treasure

There is hidden treasure.
It is within each of us.
It is the treasure of life ~ of human existence.
Love and joy in the knowing and the being.

Hidden treasure.
One must search.
The search is in the asking.
The search is in the breathing.
The search is through the heart,
beyond the mind.

Come and I shall show you how to search.
And what you will find
is joy and love,
guidance and clarity.

Listen to the wind.
Observe its gentle ease or its ferocity.
Which do you prefer?
Listen to your heart.
Hear its love or its fear.
Which do you prefer?

Listen to the stillness after the wind settles down.
Feel that same stillness in your heart.

The treasure you seek is within your stillness.
Sit quietly.
Learn to become still.
Contemplate.
Ask for answers.
Trust that they will be revealed to you.

There is joy hidden in your heart.
Discover it.
There is knowing hidden in your heart.
Seek it.
There is you hidden in your heart.
Find you.
For it is I.
