The constant movement of eternity

The search for a path through life
I return to the breathing 
from the bottom of the breath 
where the stillness resides.  

I follow it inwards,  
becoming aware of the fact 
that my body and my life 
arise from a universal energy.  

A cosmological force of affirmation 
from which everything in creation arises effortlessly,  
all at the same time.  

And I do not think this 
so much as sense it with this body,  
which of itself is a perfect instrument,  
perfectly designed to sense this force within its being.  

This force is an emanation of goodness itself,  
folding and unfolding 
so that the blossoms of life and being 
are forever opening and closing 
here at the same time 
in this moment 
and this movement  

It manifests itself throughout all of being.  

And it speaks in the voice of life itself.  

I have come here from the unknown.  

I rest here within the unknown.  

And I see that as the mystery here unfolds,  
that rest consists 
of coming into relationship with constant movement.  

Within myself,  
I encounter the paradox 
that this constant movement of energy 
begins here in  stillness and ends in stillness.  

A place now 
in which everything is constantly folding and unfolding 
opening and closing. 

At the bottom is a perfect stillness 

all this sensed with the body alone
untouched by the mind, 
filled with love, 
resting in the constant movement of eternity.
