Guest guest Posted August 12, 2002 Report Share Posted August 12, 2002 Simple Awareness Let yourself be thanked by natural blessings. To the space of you that lifts up mountains within prayer. To the sea of silence in you that can open to any moment. To the sky windows within you, of peace beyond self that flower within your un-haunted eye. Let yourself be sanctified by lucidity. Be one with that artless expansion of being that you let flower in simple awareness. Call to yourself the inspiration of this instant, that is your next awakening. Remember that all living things grow from an attention to emptiness. An abundance which grows from the empty seed as spring water flowing from sacred ground to perfectly increase its manifest reality. We need not stand in our own shadow nor place the self in the way of this river of life, but trust in the seed that produces the garden of this world and every seen form in the universe that blossoms from the space we create for it. Love looks to itself to be seen the minds eye. Be happy to be only that which cannot be counted. When the heart opens, nothing is revealed and from that nothing Loves face is unveiled. The painting of reality is not ours to complete Ours only to allow. And in that allowing, be created ever new as the Self of Love. Let yourself be made simple on a simple loom. The sweet smell of a meadow grass that is the rest between thoughts, like the sky unmoved by clouds. The green heart of all living things. Let the body and mind hang loose as a wind passing across an oceans expanse. To be gentle with all of your perceived being loving the way a cosmos of infinite emptiness can blossom within every particle of existence into a flowering of One. Let yourself be thanked by natural blessings. To love the feel of the Divine undressing you from the known into the next disclosure of reality. Step into the trust of that which your heart longs to wear and be one with the nature of God. Be opened. love eric ___________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
