Loving it All

[Guest guest]

>> But rather than stamping out

these reactions, we can also see them as part of the totality, as part of

What Is. Then the perfection becomes obvious. <<

Ah, Kheyala... thank you. Yes, I have experienced this as true, as I

have also experienced my desire to reject or my action rejection of

my pain (and the brat/monster within), so have I experienced the

Perfection they are part of. It is, as much that is spiritual

(isness) experience, paradoxical. When I am able to do what you

describe, I and the pain are one and there is no judgement, so there

is, actually, no pain. Twould be so nice if I were able to be in a

Self realized state constantly, but even the brief glimpses I receive

(or am) are worth all this experience of duality and its rising

falling breath of opposites. Ah, well, now I am feeling/thinking to

share another song. Poetry says these things better than I can with

ordinary words.

"Face the Storm"

1.

The storm's coming in

across the river;

storm's coming in,

'cross the mountainside.

The wind blows so fierce,

it makes me shiver.

Oh, but you know

I don't want to hide.

I want to...

face the storm;

meet in head on;

hold the Power in my hand...

embrace the storm,

standing my own ground.

I won't back down;

I'm being,

I'm being born.

2.

The clouds are so dark,

above the water;

clouds are so dark,

you can scarcely see.

I might be afraid,

but I'm Heaven's daughter,

and the stark raving madness

will not move me,

and I want to...

face the storm;

meet in head on;

hold the Power in my hand...

embrace the storm,

standing my own ground.

I won't back down;

I'm being,

I'm being born.

There never was birth

without a little pain;

there never will be growth

without rain.

So shake the Earth;

I will not fall.

You know I'm in Love

with It All.

3.

The thunder beats a rhythm

against the hillside;

the thunder beats a rhythm;

it echos in my bones...

of the the gifts that I've been given

over a lifetime;

of the drumming in my heart,

thats calling me Home,

and I will...

face the storm;

meet in head on;

hold the Power in my hand...

embrace the storm,

standing my own ground.

I won't back down;

I'm being,

I'm being born.

There never was birth

without a little pain;

there never will be growth

without rain.

So shake the Earth;

I will not fall.

You know I'm in Love

with It All.

Dear Linda,

I really didn't write that! I was quoting someone else from

another e-mail list. (I hope that's okay to do!)

Anyway, I am really glad it helped you as it did me.

You said, " When I am able to do what you describe, I and the pain

are one and there is no judgement, so there is, actually, no pain."

Isn't this the most Amazing Thing?! Isn't this the Best News

there could Possibly be?? This makes me laugh and dance and sing!

And smile BIG and want to hug people I don't know! This is the most

basic, and yet, one of the most miraculous experiences a human being

can have! Jai! Jai!

Then you said, "...the brief glimpses I receive (or am) are worth all

this experience of duality and its rising falling breath of

opposites."

This is true Gratitude: for All of it. Very, very rare indeed. So precious.

"Ah, well, now I am feeling/thinking to share another song. Poetry

says these things better than I can with ordinary words."

Isn't this because of the purity of the "pouring through" that you

described? There is such a force to It that there is no chance for

any "imaginary dust particles" to get in.

Your lyrics have such Heart in them. I wish I knew the melodies

so I could sing them too! And the chords... Do you have a CD or

tape?

Singing with the Heart...it is such a divine expression. (Anyone

can sing with their mouths, but you know, anyone can sing with their

hearts, too. :)

Love to you, Linda, and everyone else on the entire planet and

everyone else on every other planet, (Jeeze, I just can't help

myself)
