I can begin my whole life again here. Begin in stillness. Begin here in the sensation of my Being, The sensation of every atom and molecule in my body. I can invest myself in this force, This gentle, very quiet force. That insists on the creation of my Being Here in this moment With every particle of itself In such a way that in stillness, I am here. Here at the beginning. Where life flows into Being In an absolute and indescribable glory That perpetually and throughout all of eternity Gives birth to the cosmos. A place that is filled With intelligence and grace And an infinite compassion for all of life, For what it is in itself And how it manifests in Being. I'm given the privilege to join life Here at the beginning of life. And for just a moment to understand The magnificent nature of its essence, Its presence, And its wisdom. I arise from this force, Which is generous and graceful and joyous. And yet at once I forget all of these qualities. And I think I am this small creature called myself, Which truly in the end has almost nothing in it. And the reason that this small thing called myself Has almost nothing in it, Is because it was originally intended as a vessel For this great glory That flows into being. I do not understand these things, For they cannot be understood with the mind. But as the body sounds the note of being in its presence and sensation, There, where a stillness of thought is present, I can, For a moment, Begin to understand these things. Because a hint of feeling begins to enter. And this has a quality with the ability to truly understand. I am a vessel into which life and the whole world flow. Can I be here in the stillness And prepare to receive this good life? We shall see.
