Life and Being

I return to this moment 
In order not just to remember this moment, 
Or remember myself
But to remember Life.

For I forget Life in the rush to live it.
And yet, even though I forget it, 
It is always here now within me, 
Flowing into Being.

As I sit here,
I bring Life and Being back together 
So that there is no separation 
And Life becomes a whole thing within Being 
An energy that flows and creates Being 

And that Being is a whole thing within Life
So that I do not forget it.

There is a very fine energy, 
A current that flows at the root of being.

And it is as vital as oxygen to the process of Life.

Life could not Be without this goodness that flows into Being. 
Yes, this energy is an energy of goodness and of truth 
For it has no thinking in it that can deny
Or oppose or resist.

It is only the force of Yes, which brings Life.
And strangely, I see that somehow I am the one who opposes it.

I say Yes, and I release my opposition.
This fine energy fills every cell in Being 
Evenly distributed 
So that the face 
And the tongue, and the mouth, and the hands and the feet
from the top of the head to the bottom—

Every cell receives Life.

Life receives Life.

Being receives Being.

And there is a stillness here.
Where everything eternally begins 
And the vessel that can receive and that receives
Now becomes deeper 

And the Life that is received here flows even deeper into Being

So that in the stillness, 
The roots reach downwards into the fertile ground of Love
From which all Life emerges.

And as the roots of my attention grow deeper and deeper 
Into the founding ground and soil of this Love,

I drink more deeply of Life and Being.
