To Find Myself Seamless

To find myself seamless:

to just know myself as aware - and nothing more revealed but the world as my expansion. It's really that simple, to be aware, and to note the details found in this awareness. There are no true lines of separation here, to see is to find myself seamless to the view, to listening is to be joined as both silence and sound. It's one thing in noting, qualities in the single experience of being. 

just aware. 

this isn't a certain achievement, not a special status for a few - it's the reality of being a human, alive, and participating in the world. It only seems magical through neglect of appreciation, a lost art rediscovered in the most obvious of places. To remember is to awaken, and to appreciate this gift of living is awaken further still. I am given a lifetime to explore. 

and it begins with every moment. 

to be aware, and to know myself as so - it's an instant meditation of what's found within each moment, a gentle note of what belongs simply by its presence, of how, through this very act of noting, I find myself in this belonging. It's a great welcoming, even to events not welcomed and what feels undeserved. Nothing can be excluded. This doesn't always feel kind, that the world offers what seems the worst of possible outcomes just moments after all is fine. It's not about feeling better. It's reality, and mystery, and sometimes too the grace that's found in being aware. I accept the moment, and all that's given, and at this very point is my surrender. 

that's grace. 

yes, I surrender to what's present - but this moment too contains the inconceivable possibilities of simply being alive. Life brings its own faith. It's not a belief that things will be better, or that a promise land awaits. It's faith in motion, that every moment is constantly changing. This is my surrender, that things will be different, and that I'm given this moment to be an active participant in what will be tomorrow's outcome. I'm not striving for change, just aware of all that's changing. 

to just know myself as life - and by this I am aware.
