Tiny creature that I am

Still on the road. My apologies for the audio quality.

I am here within this body 
letting go of everything 
but the sense that the body is here 
and we are here together.  

Every cell in this body is alive 
and all of them are obedient to the gravity of the planet.  

Within myself here, the whole of me is obedient.  
I begin here in obedience, 
and the magnetic resonance of the planet  
which fills my body and animates every cell
creates an intimate 
organic connection 
between the nature of my being and the planet itself.  

We are not so separated now.  
We are together.  

The mind is relatively still because it is subordinate 
to the sensation of being here right now.  

And I am more relaxed, 
more aware of my breathing 
more grateful for the very simple fact that I am alive here and now.  

And beginning from here and now, 
beginning from this emptiness at the root of thought  
and even at the root of being itself
I realize that my search for myself and my search for my life can begin here,  
not as a search for deficiencies,  

but a search for a new path forward within life
that begins in the goodness of relationship, 
that begins in the goodness of being itself.  
The goodness begins in this magnetic resonance of every cell
and I am filled from here in the beginning of this moment 

with enormous possibilities to go forward 
in a positive way into life 
and to search not for what is missing and what has failed 
but for what is here and what is sufficient.

I can take life in more positively,  more objectively,  
as long as I include the understanding I have here and now 
of obedience to greater  forces than myself.  

Through this sensation,  
every impression that I have passes transparently 
through the curtains of my thought 
into the cells of the body
so deeply that every impression begins to be deposited 
in the marrow of my life,  
deep in the bones where it can feed my cells 
and even help my molecules to align themselves more exactly,  
so that a spirit of cooperation and togetherness arises in the body  
from the ground floor upwards into being.  

And as this alignment begins to take place, 
I say thanks.  
I give thanks because it is one of the few things  that I have to offer here, 
tiny creature that I am.
