A short poem called "Flying Home," beginning with the first word "Breakthrough!" This poem describes taking off in an airplane through thick fog, and suddenly rising above the clouds into bright sunshine looking over the same clouds that were the fog, from a different point of view. "Don't believe everything you think" seems to me a bumper-sticker version of mindfulness practice and a key to living in flow and creativity. The poem uses an experience of breaking through fog to embody an immediacy of Life, less filtered through thought and more experienced as "every shining pine needle."
Break through! The plane rises above the clouds,
and what was gray mist all around becomes a flash of light,
a sea of white corrugated clouds we rise above till they stretch endlessly
like some great snowfield far below, luminous in brilliant sun.
How much our lives
are passed under a gray blanket of thought,
while sun or stars are so pervasive, so nearby
if only we could rise above the clouds to see the shining light in every tree, in every blade of grass
in every one of us resplendent, darkened
Human beings.
