I have come here to receive life more deeply in the body. 

To sense the nature of this being 
in the moment when it arises and manifests. 

To be here objectively 
in the midst of gravity, 
in the midst of magnetism, 
in the midst of sensation and presence. 

And in order to be here, it is important for me 
to form an intimate relationship, 

to form an intimate relationship with the body in all of its nature, 
to form an intimate relationship with every cell that breathes and lives, 
and with every molecule that works inside that cell, 
and to form an intimate relationship with every atom 
that that forms those molecules 

until the relationship becomes so precise, 
so alive, 
so intimate, 
that the relationship is no longer 
with the matter that it forms within, 
but the energy it is formed from. 

So that I become more of a creature of life and energy, 
than a creature of stuff and substance.
