Divine Nature

She ordered Acceptance
And as the waiter
Walked past me
With it
Covered up
On a tray
I could smell it
I. Could. Smell. Acceptance.

It smelt like…
Sniff…
Sigh…
Like Love.

Acceptance smells
Like Love
And what does
Love smell like?

Well…
Love smells like
A journey down
Loss, Pain, and Suffering
Also, joy. Yes, joy too
And delight. And wander
And surprise. And the most
Intimate mixture of
Being seen and being met
That you can ever imagine.

And now.
Right now.
This moment.
Can you smell that?
That’s what love smells like.

As the waiter returned,
Empty-handed
I touched them,
Ever so slightly
Covid and all,
And said,
I want what
She is having…

Double portion.

I was about to walk

Towards the Moon,

And she said,

“Stop right there.

Find the path

To your own light.

Then come.

Love you.”

Every now and again

Time takes a vacation

And disappears from

The eyes of our awareness

Into the heart of our purpose

Turning our actions into

Time itself.

So, if you are intent

On knowing the time

Be love to all you can find.

Nature is pregnant

With a kinder humanity.

She will give birth

Any day now.

Don’t be concerned

About who the

Father is

Just take good care of her.

Today, I am high

On the breath

Of the earth

And grounded

In the mist

Of a new human birth.

Whether up or down,

Life is alive!

 

Do not burden yourself

About sitting in meditation

Allow your connection

To the earth

To be your cushion.

And sit as long

As you like.

My exercise routine

Is to fly through time,

With feet and thoughts intertwine

Into the embrace

Of Love divine.
