Now … is all that I have.
…
Each single moment I am
Just a ‘construct’
Rising out of perceptions, perspectives, beliefs and stories
Alloyed in the crucible of experience.
…
Like a drowning man I clutch
Tendencies which feed my Ego
Constantly fueling my Sense-of-Entitlement.
…
The lure of the Comfort-Zone beckons strong
Like a puppet, I wildly sway between Avarice or Aversion
Bewitched by Limitless Greed and Limitless Fear.
…
The joyful dance of Nature continues
Every sunrise, and every sunset brings forth
The agony and the ecstasy of birth and death
Tears of joy and sorrow chisel away at my heart
At long last, the hard-shell melts.
…
In a flash Awareness dawns
Everything is Inter-Connected AND Inter-Dependent
The same Energy permeates All
Radiating from the Core
It flows in cycles, along the gradient
It all comes together
Wonderfully!
…
Stretching my arms skyward
With deep gratitude, I receive
The gift of life, death and every breath in between
With Compassion, I Choose
To offer my entire Presence on the alter of Service.
…
As the mist lifts
Flooded with a Sense-of-the-Sacred
I celebrate my Home-coming
Once again, I am whole
Now … is all that I have.
