In the depths of Being
I sense my Self.
In deepest silence ...
stillness ...
I touch my Essence.

In a breathless tension
I perceive
A Wholeness
That lays hidden within
in repose.

I get out of my way
beyond mundane self-ish issues
in silence
within I go
and know!

Know that everything that happens in my life is as per my soul plan. People, events, circumstances are but instruments and means by which I experience all self chosen experiences. Nothing happens because someone did something to me rather they were the instruments by which I had happen to me what was meant to happen that I may experience, learn, grow and know my Self thereby. So for all experiences I am thankful for the light that has increased in me, for the beauty that has unfolded in me, for the love that has grown in me, for the compassion that has arisen in me. For this I am deeply grateful and hold no malice towards anyone.

Beauty shines forth in myriad ways; if we look closely we'll see it everywhere.

Life flows. I flow with life. Up and down...unresisting...to accept what is. At times I am up, at times I am down. Always I try and remember I am not this. I am witnessing this. Yet all is as it should be. All IS now.

We hear so many doomsday stories and often wonder what life is all about. Not interested in anything and tired of sensory indulgences ... food, tv, paces and places, spiritual pursuits -everything seems to draw a blank. The psychiatrist would say it is depression. Rather something is missing in life. The mind needs something to do to keep itself occupied. Life, then, is bearable. When we come to the end of desires; to keep on keeping at the same old pastimes we are really in no-man's land - a place where we are neither here nor there - not here on Earth's playground yet haven't quite crossed over to spiritual pastures of heavenly bliss or whatever that state happens to be. This transition phase can be unsettling and one becomes moody and broody (my word) and up and down. All sagacious today and all gloomy tomorrow. Such is life. We walk the paces and trudge on regardless...
