This new day

There's a stillness that begins here
at the root of my awareness
deep in the body
at the place where I begin to become what I am.

And in this place
which begins to connect the bottom of the spine to the top of the spine
I am just here
very simply
with little or no thought

and there is a very fine energy present here in the body
fine energy which is aligned up and down throughout the body
That exists in every cell of the body itself

so that the energy is also, in its own way
quite still
even thought it has this quality of a very fine vibration
that extends into every crevice
every atom
every molecule of my being.

I begin to see that I am made of energy itself
and that this energy is a very, very fine energy 
that is present everywhere in me,
evenly distributed,
balanced and perceptive.

I am here with nothing more that the energy
nothing more than being
and it's as though I had just been born 
and am beginning here all over again
in a completely new life.

Today is a new day that does not have to be ruled by the past.
If I am present to this energy in me,
it will help to give me the freedom I have
to be who I am today
and not who I was yesterday 
or the day before that
or even the life before that.

This is a new day
and a new life
a resurrection into being itself.

In order to embrace this condition,
I need to turn my attention to this very fine energy
That spreads throughout me 
and acknowledge that this energy is an energy
]that is brought here by the work of the community of my cells
trillions of beings
each one of which has a wish to work together 
and be here as a body.

So my cells and I are here together in partnership
and we agree to be here 
in this new life body
open to whatever may come
not hesitating to embrace life as it is
more than to insist that life should be as we wish it to be.

Within this field of cooperation we sense together
the magnetism and the gravity of  the planet
of our bodies
and even perhaps of the solar system and its sun

and in this stillness
and this very fine energy
I am more aligned with these great forces
that have brought life here
to where it is now—

to this moment of liberation  
In this new day and this new life.

And here within this new day and this new life
I can sense in this very fine energy of the body
the goodness that has brought me here

which I vow to take forward into life
in courage
and compassion
and intention.
