A Prayer From Nothing



This prayer - from nothing and asking only to return. In truth we only believe that we are absent from the grand absence of self that is the template for all things to be. There is no need to return from this point of absolute stillness. Everything passes through us and yet we remain within this only moment of existence. Our prayer is offered from nothing, to nothing, and in this we hope to remember our true capacity of unconditional allowance.

~
To be nothing does not mean nonexistence - indeed it's the underlying emptiness that allows existence to be form and the formless to pass unopposed within us. To be nothing is to know ourselves as the touch of all things. So to see distance, but not a runner, is to find our true reflection in the spaciousness of earth and sky.

Peace,
Eric
