remember.
all falls away
just as quickly as it arises
in this life
all i create
i must know
and i must accept
with grace and surrender
that it will also be destroyed
all i build
will crumble
this transience
is not life’s cruelty
but her reminder of the natural cycle of what is
nothing has ever been permanent
our own fragile lives are not ours to own
but to experience a taste of this existence
with as much sincerity and depth as we can
learning to navigate the labyrinth of the mind
until we realize that all walls are illusory
and we are left in infinite expanse
complete freedom
complete uncertainty
nothing to hold
simultaneously liberating and terrifying
cognition grasping at the wind
seeking shelter
swallowed by panic
squirming in unfamiliarity
and yet…
be still
and know
that here the heart is at peace
death is here now.
birth is here now.
and what lies between
is the dance
with no agenda
no purpose
just here.
the cosmic dance
creation.
sustenance.
and dissolution.
and because it ultimately does not matter
what we do with this human life
no one really cares
only you do
we should make it pleasant
honestly and authentically pleasant
with a constant stride toward truth
with an open heart
and with service
all of this
not to reach outside
or to reach inside
but to find the collapse
and rest there
for eternity
but an active rest
not a lack of activity
but living a life is that is no longer a struggle
and you realize
maybe it never was
irrespective of conditions
you are at peace
i am at peace.
and where is peace?
here.
now.
not anything outside of here and now.
peace is in presence.
in acceptance.
surrender
enthusiasm.
and love.
for we know not what the very next second may hold
so how can i be fully here for this one?
..
im coming home.
i love you.
im all yours,
