This morning,
I left the idea
Of myself behind
And stumbled inside
The unknowing of
Our becoming.
Self-knowledge
I created distance
Between us
Thinking it was best
Not seeing that
I suppressed the me
Your presence
Was inviting me to see.
Come closer, please.
I may still
Want to run away
But I will stay,
Loving you
And inviting in more of me.
Entering further
Into the dark depths
Of the Self,
All around
I see
The jagged edges,
The murky ground,
And the broken might
Of my inner world.
Now, bruised, dirty, and limping,
I embrace the light
This darkness brings.
On the road to discover what you are,
Walk out on who you are.
If you can perceive the difference,
You are well on your way.
Let it go.
You know what I am talking about.
You open the door to freedom,
With empty hands.
Look beneath your desires to discover what you have been.
Turn your desires within to see who you are.
If you cannot be what you are,
Step aside.
Let what you are be you.
If we have a strong sense of our purpose or calling, and yet think about it more than we express it,
It is like expecting to make progress while swimming in sand in the opposite direction to where we are going.
So, don’t swim. Walk.
Meditate on this:
“Who am I in relation to the Self, to Pure Consciousness?”
Peace comes from repeated visits to your inner world;
Unconditional, infinite Love is experienced by knowing who lives there;
And everlasting joy comes when you take up residence there.
