This Strange Happiness

“Happiness is strange; it comes when you are not seeking it. When you are not making an effort to be happy, then unexpectedly, mysteriously, happiness is there, born of purity, of a loveliness of being.” (Jiddu Krishnamurti)

You can’t try to sleep
You simply sleep
You can’t try to awaken
You simply wake up
All your efforts
Create more resistance
Maybe the time has come
To be okay, to be okay
Just as you are
