Devotion of Another Kind

Devotion:

it's devotion of another kind, not towards a single figure, no item worshiped above all others - this is the openness of our true nature, inclusive to what it holds divine. Everything belongs in equal fashion, unconditional in not just acceptance, but in love as well. 

Indeed, only love is ever found. 

this is not the love of passion, it's not affection grown deep between people - this is the love without fail hinted by the Bible, yet more, it's the true devotion offered by our spacious nature. To this love, we always bring more, a capacity of endless expansion. Nothing is refused, compassion in a fierce sense, the world is simply held without our interference. 

of course this doesn't mean without involvement, we are active participants in the world, working with care to have a life that's filled with meaning. But there's no real say in how this all unfolds, we are unable to escape the course that life offers. This is the unconditional aspect of devotion, our embrace of the current moment without design for things to be other. What we find here is the immediate acceptance of everything that contradicts this moment - our denial, and every plan to shape the future different falls seamless to this hold. 

Everything belongs. 

our true devotion is unseen, infinite, and present through it all - it's subtle in its presence, so immediate and intimate that we fail to give notice. This too is the role of grace, that no effort is needed for this acceptance, life continues in it's flow, and our only role to simply live. We are devoted by design, spacious, and unconditional in this love. 

Nothing more is needed.
