Every moment of life is an invitation to return to the wholeness of being. The experience of what takes place now as it flows into the body. There is already a whole sensation, a complete sensation of being available here to receive it. Yet in order to receive this life, I need to become much more intimate with it now, with the inward breath and all of its glory. Intimate with the place in which it turns around so that the breath leaves. Intimate with the place at the bottom where the breath pauses. And from this intimacy, this intention to experience the breathing on its own terms, I encounter the beginning of my sensation And I encounter the middle of it and I encounter the end so that now I understand better the way in which it is a vibration that fills the entire body with its own intention that is not an intention of the thought of the mind. For now, I enter the mind of the body and its being and I learn that it has an authority that runs deep within me and connects me with the planet and its gravity connects me with the solar system and its magnetism in such a way that I have reawakened to the roots of my being and the way in which they nourish presence. And for now, there is nothing here but gravity and alignment. For the body, these are the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, and all of creation that lies between the two and I slip sideways into this place which receives me willingly so that I am in sensation as much as it is in me. We are not different. And I come to rest in the stillness here. No need to do anything. Just a call to be. And now, a doorway opens a tiny bit to allow a much finer energy to penetrate the body coming from every direction at the same time to feed every cell and molecule with its goodness. And I breathe in this impression deeply. allowing all of this very fine energy of attention and goodness to penetrate every cell. So I see the way in which, in addition to the oxygen from the atmosphere of the planet that I receive, I equally sense and feel the goodness that I receive as I breathe this air. And I perceive for a moment the way in which the whole of the being-body, along with the rest of this cosmos, is filled with a great light. Lord have mercy.
