Your presence
Pulls back the curtain
That reveals Awareness.
Awareness dissolves
The barriers
That make you other than me.
Now that nothing
Is in our way,
One.
Interconnectedness
Waking up,
The Earth
Busily cares for all
Even as we sleep.
She tires,
Yet doesn’t complain.
“Will the children
Who are awake
Help the others?”
She wonders.
Yesterday, I looked at you
From my world
And saw you.
Yes,
Only 10,000 miles away
Invisible and mute.
Can that be,
You so far away from me?
So today, I look as you
From your world
And saw…
Wait,
I have forgotten myself
Way back there in the distance.
Now, I am traveling back
Back towards that self,
With you,
To see as we see,
Our selves as the world.
The stream of Life
Flows,
Engulfing the material
And cuts mercilessly through
The spiritual.
What can stand in the path of
Life’s singular purpose of Oneness?
I crawl to the edge
Of our Oneness
And attempt to jump over
Into the stream of individuality,
To live my own Life.
I am not alone.
All around me,
Billions moving as one
Unaware of the edgeless edge ahead
That falls into the single “my own Life.”
I surrender.
For me,
There is no escaping our unity.
Walk gently upon the Earth.
Watch your step, please.
I have countless siblings
Who live low,
Expressing their wisdom
About being grounded.
So, please.
Watch your step.
Walk mindfully.
Thank you!
Look –
Beyond the rhythm of the Self,
Life
Inviting me
To be as it is –
Dancing to its own music
Composed by 10 billion expressions
Of Itself.
Now dance.
Good and bad
Walk hand in hand
Towards peace.
The Source of your deepest connection with another,
Is the Infinite Ocean of Love.
Look beneath the connection to get to that Source.
Stay there.
Then your actions will be like drops of water from that Ocean.
There is a circle around you and me that holds the expression of Life, in all its various forms.
Imagine, too, that you are that circle.
You have the space to hold everyone you meet.
