Searching for the sense and aim of existence, I realize that this search must become a more inward search. A search that reaches down into the roots of my being to a place where the roots draw their nourishment. And so I commit wholeheartedly to allowing all of the energy in the body to travel downwards, towards, deeper and deeper into the gravity of being. To a place that is empty of my usual concerns. A place where stillness rules the kingdom. I breathe into this stillness with sensitivity, with attention. There is a connection here to a sensation that binds life and being to every cell in the body. And each one of them is alive and intelligent in its own right. Working ceaselessly to maintain the inner cosmos of being. For even though the inner world is filled with great stillness, the work here never ceases. The energy here is always present and available. And so this energy and my attention acknowledge one another as partners in being. The body and I acknowledge one another, partners in being. And yet the connection here, the partnership here, is so intimate as to be generative and and sexual in nature, giving birth to a new day and a new life. And in this simple action of coming into contact with this energy and the roots of my being for just a few moments, I acknowledge the authority of being. And I begin to listen much more carefully for the note that it sounds within.
