This great cosmos

I don't need to think of anything 
in order to discover what is interesting about life. 
I just need to be here as it flows into this body. 

Life is everywhere all around me. 
I am a fragment of that wholeness. 
And even though life is divided into trillions of tiny little bits, 
it is one single whole thing 
which senses itself within me 
and across every level of the cosmos. 

As I breathe in here, 
I have been invited to life. 

To be here with it, 
to taste the heat of its warmth, 
to sense the coolness of its stillness, 
to understand the way in which air is a food for me, 
to listen to the sounds of the birds, 
to let everything flow in as simply as possible

and for myself, 
for a little while, 
just think of nothing 
and create an open, empty, and receptive place within me
for all of these good impressions of great glory 
to flow into this body, 
to let the vibration that every cell produces 
in relationship with its brethren 
spread throughout the body.

To be here in relation with this force 
always and everywhere 
to be in relationship with this force. 

None of this needs my thinking in order to be complete. 
The goodness is already here before I arrive in it. 

And none of this is really about me or what I want, 
but rather a call to wholeness in relationship 
and what the earth wants
what the moon wants
what the sun wants. 

For they are much greater beings than myself 
and what they wish for is wiser and deeper, 
and carries much more weight than anything I am able to imagine. 

So as I sense life in this body with every cell 
and I sense the gravity and the magnetism 
that bring us all together here
I begin to understand 
that I am not a creature of myself 
or what I think 
but a particle of this great cosmos.
