I am

Sept 23, 2020

Fall is here. Life and death die into each other. I sit here just being. No rush. No need to move anywhere. I listen. Birds sing while grasses lean towards the sun. The sky is mottled in blues and whites. All is connected. I can’t help but love in this quiet place. Thoughts settle down. Flow is happening. I don’t need to fight any of this or try and make it better. All is beautiful, all creatures great and small, all flora and fauna is just as they should be. I need not progress, for just like all humans, I am exactly who I am supposed to be. Not rushing, not anxious, I am here. And in the essence of myself, love pours forth.

i am  

what i am

and what i am

the world is

with violence

arrogance 

greed

hate

fear

anxiety

insecurity

in my mind

then these

i  reflect 

as the world

all beliefs

are thoughts

empty and hollow 

as illusions

thoughts unchecked

ignored 

spill and distort 

outward

through the 

prism of persona

an egosphere 

perpetuating outwardly 

a multifaceted labyrinth 

of illusion

I am

what exists in all

what exists in you

I am the universe

i am 

freedom flowing, soaring 

with wings of fire

exploring every footstep, every breath

i see 

all flora, all fauna

all rivers, lakes, oceans

the striations of landscapes

the diamond spectacle of galaxies

exist within me

as clouds rise and fall 

as night and day blend

i breathe in and out

flowing in love

all is light and infinite

tasting it all

truth is  

here in lies myself

in all ways

in all things

here the world is already transformed

for rather than seeing others

i see myself

and when i see myself in others

 i can do nothing but love…..
