As I reflect upon this peaceful land where I'm sitting now, wrapped up inside your sweet dream as it flows to meet the ocean of love, I find comfort in your way. And although we sometimes break like shards of sharp glass upon the shore, still we may mean no harm. For that too is our way. It is only an expression of how we grow too brittle and bitter so easily. But in that bleeding cut that we may cause, to our self or another, are the seeds of realization for a better way to walk without breaking or being broken. When we open our eyes to see both the joy and suffering from one step removed. Realizing even as we see ourselves being pulled into this or that vortex, or seeing our baggage that was left behind arrive ahead of us at the next station, we find peace by knowing that is not where we are really heading at all. For if we are strong enough to dare, we see the film break, or make it break, long enough for the pause to dawn into clear knowing. Even for only an instant is long enough, for a while. For a while we float there above the fray. Some may pray or be prayed too. And somehow even that may help us grow higher or perhaps slip away again without a footing, so that we may try again to walk this silken or rusted road.
Yet here I stand face to face with you in this moment. These words, some of them pronounced upon my lips are flowing through your eyes and touching your ear as you may choose to say them out loud for me and for you. Just as I'm saying them out loud for you right now. Just as I'm feeling them in silence. This moment when you have come to read these words you are reading now. And if you'll feel the communion that is buried in my heart, and perhaps buried in your heart too, you will know how we are one. You will understand this swirling veil I'm entangled in keeps me from reaching through the mirror and touching your hand in grace. In true love that transcends beyond the beginning and ending of time. But you know it is true. I am but you talking to yourself. And as you read me into you, we become one for a moment, and I hope you feel that as vividly in this moment of yours as I do in this one of mine right now. This moment of mine that came before your moment and yet is the very same instant. The instant where you have always lived.
Pause then now. And dream sweetly. Deep and slow. Find your heart and let it flow. Imagine the greatest love you've ever known, or even just wanted to know but never found, and bestow it now upon you, yourself, your glorious magnificent self. And let it sink into you, like a perfect lover's tender hand. Melted like warm buttered chocolate all over your being. Look down without peeking and see your sweet essence. And know it is good. Perfectly, exactly, what it is right now. Perfectly in balance with the never ending web of imbalance that makes us move, that makes us animated and alive. And breath that into your soul. Together with me, as we see together through one eye, for a perfect moment, what is true. Now linger there longer than you think you should. And when you awaken, back into sleep, give some of what you gained to another today. Spread that love and recognition for who you are and what you can give for free.
