A Note to My Thoughts

Past, isn't it simply a fleeting thought?
Future, isn't it just a projection of mind?
Aren't they all simply just happening now?
What there is is only this moment--
So fresh, yet just another fleeting nowness!

The world that you see,
And the sounds that you hear
Thoughts that arise randomly,
Aren't they all just happening in nowness?

Why don't you just let go of the past and future thoughts?
Why can't you simply relax in this beautiful world now?
Why do you sacrifice your present for your pure imaginations?
Hey! Hey! Wake up you, lazy dzogchen lama!
