The Great Presence of Love

The more deeply I am in relationship to my life and the sensation of my body,
the more fully I appreciate what it is to be within life itself.

Not within my dreams of life, but actual life as it is here and now,
In the way that it flows into the body 
And helps to create the wholeness of being here.

I am in stillness now,
Resting here within the truth of life itself,
Sensing the particles of my being
As active living forces that have gathered themselves together in this place,
Concentrating the force of being itself here within.

I do not know what this means.
The mind cannot explain it so easily.

Yet the perception of it is a complete thing and already whole.
So while the mind may bring a question to it,
Sensation brings perception and it brings it immediately
And without anything but itself here. 

So I inhabit this nothingness of perception
which is a complete active presence 
And I wait here in this stillness sensing
That even greater things are possible.

I am connected to my breathing, 
Still and centered in the middle of this perception of being.
Only the movement of the body itself within this place supporting it.
And a vast landscape begins to open within being.

The landscape of the soul
Which is without any physical limit.

And in this great emptiness,
Which is not filled with any of the things of earth,
But rather with the emptiness of heaven,
Created so that there would be an infinite amount of room 
For love to enter and inhabit it, 
Indeed as I wait here
I do not sense love itself, but rather its possibility.

The possibility for love to be born here within being.

To fill this great emptiness with the wholeness of its own being.

A love that is not mine, but infinitely greater than me.

Already I touch the hem of this garment.
And I wish to remember the feeling of that contact.
So that each time I touch the presence of another being today,
I remember to do so,
Remembering the possibility of love here, 
Manifesting within being.

Filling the emptiness
With the great presence of love.

For this possibility, I give great thanks.
