“Burn the candle by day and you'll have to sit in the dark at night.” ~ Amish Proverb

  

thought arises and an observer appears,

“oh, this thought is not my true essence!”

Is that really so? Is the thought the impostor
or the commentary calling itself Awareness?

Let me ask you, if the commentary judges,
can the commentary be the true essence?

There is more to mindfulness than thoughts;
there are feelings and sensations as well.

The “I” experience kicks in every moment;
our essence is prior, in silence and love.
