I begin here in the body as though I had no story, as though everything were beginning here, in this place now, and that everything that can be determined is yet to be determined. From within, there is a powerful sensation that fills the whole body. A vibration that is already upright and resident asserting the authority of its presence before I arrive to acknowledge it. And as I arrive here in this moment to acknowledge it, the whole organic body straightens itself in order to conform more intelligently to its presence. I see that this energy is the being body and that the flesh and the blood, the bones and the marrow are merely its servants. This force of being penetrates every cell and every molecule. It resides in every atom. It is the tissue from which all of creation is made. I begin to sense the way in which it aligns itself with the magnetism of the planet and uses the gravity that the planet generates as an anchor to keep me here where I am. Here in this place, breathing the air of this planet, which is a food for the blood, a food for the structure of the bones, a food for the world. And so now, here, I see the way in which, according to the action of this energy, I am bound in the body. Bound in the blood. The taste of this place is rich and sweet and it reaches downward into the hidden, deeper places of the soul itself. And they align with a great mystery that flows into being from all directions. Up from below, down from above it flows, blending itself completely into every particle of being. And thus what is below and what is above align themselves here so that they meet and so that a goodness can flow. A goodness that circulates throughout all of creation and which every living organism is meant to participate in. To remain, to receive a tiny grain of this goodness which penetrates into the deepest part and replenishes the reservoir of what is good and what is needed so that I will remember myself when in life. Stay the hand that would be selfish and offer goodness to others forward into being.
