As We Move through this World

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....
