as we move through this world
as we negotiate our days
and our nights
can we put down the armament
of postural defense
can we cease this
what seems
almost constant
negotiation
that arises from separation
can we allow the sense of
me and
mine to diminish
while completely
respecting
the place of human
name
and form
as part of this play
of Consciousness
that this name and form
this humanness
always be treated with deference
kindly
beautifully
and not denied an iota of validity
and care
in
its respective sphere...
but it is recognized
that the greater part
oh, the far greater
part
is that place beyond
behind
or beneath
(however it works for you!)
all story
that which sees
with the gaze of infinity
and moves through this
name and form world
imbued with
discrimination
that discrimination
that common sense
which
arises naturally
like a fresh fountain of
spring water
from recognition
of ones true nature
and then
personal agenda
evaporates
and all movement expressed
through this name
and form
automatically
serves the greater
good
is moved by
the all
to serve
the all
so
can negotiation
cease
and this surrender
to our own pure heart
happen?
it is the inevitability
for all sentience
to come to recognize
itself
therefore
let us love ourselves into
this bowing down
this surrender
to the great heart of
Being
and let us allow the unconditioned
to
be expressed....
