Let these words be a tender embrace that softens hard edges, and welcomes any remaining struggle with life. The truth of impermanence could be the great unifier of humanity if we would but allow it to penetrate the collective heart. But we cannot wait for anyone else and must do this primarily for ourselves.
Last year’s brief time spent working with a man facing his imminent impermanence and the grace with which he opened to it still resonates deeply with my own being. Although he was coming to me for some ‘wisdom,’ he left me with his grace and for that I am very grateful.
His final words to me were, ‘Thank you for your friendship. I'm sure we will remain friends forever.’ Yes.
Here are a few of this week’s offerings. Thank you for reading them x
Seeker, fret not, You keep stripping away layer upon layer Until you arrive at emptiness. -------------------------------------- To realize God is in the searching And in the finding Is freedom. -------------------------------------- it takes genuine heart and great courage to soften oneself into love's surrender the true warrior is one who turns their back on the crowd and lives in humble strength. -------------------------------------- There is beauty everywhere But we are so distracted We fail to see it As the veil of illusion dissolves And we fall deeper into the mystery That beauty reveals itself to us More and more It was always here We were not We are now. -------------------------------------- I discovered that my joy Did not exclude my sorrow And that my peace Included the waves. ------------------------------------ Our real power lies Not in transcending the world Or denying it But in meeting it fully, openly, Without judgement and projection. -------------------------------------- Bear it all The waves of duality The pendulum that swings The storm that rises and falls The brokenness, the suffering See it, know it, feel it Deny nothing Yet stand in your equanimous being In the center, immovable, noble and present. ------------------------------------- All I really did Was dismantle The layers of False protection And armoring That created An imaginary me And lived from what was left The journey was painful The relief was blissful The result was natural. ------------------------------------ Be fearless Not by conquering fear But by accepting it And not assuming It will go away. ----------------------------------- The world is not starved of love It is starved of those Who are prepared to serve love With every fiber of their being. -------------------------------------
