The Race to Nowhere
Found in the book 'The Temple of Silence'

The Race to Nowhere" highlights the futility of chasing external goals, inviting us to recognize that the true prize is already here, beyond the rush of seeking.
Waking in the morning
to the jarring warning
of the starter’s gun to begin the run,
feet swing to the floor
and the seeking has begun.
Billions cross the starting line,
bodies jostling for position,
racing and blindly chasing
after objects and effects,
lost in transient embracing.
Yet some few quietly remain
knowing there’s nothing to attain,
having recognized with beginner’s eyes
the prize for which the racers pine:
start and finish, the very same line.
