Lightly

Lightly:

lightly, that my world is held a little lighter now, as if the gravity of my self concern lessened in it's pull. There is freedom here, yet not from a single thing, but the freedom to allow, to see how things belong in their own way, and length of stay. This too, is my own belonging - being an aspect of life without separation from the whole. 

it's a sense of interdependence, I am no longer at fault for conditions of the world, believing myself in charge of things beyond control - and yet to care, offering love, is my deep felt response. This is a natural compassion, coming from a true connection. 

to hold it all lightly, just a softer hold to what life offers, a lessening to any fear of loss, and sense of being incomplete. Life flows in its own course of grace and mystery. There is little that I truly control. But my freedom comes through this acceptance, to play my response well, with tenderness, and not give weight to my resistance. I belong to this flow, to both its grace and mystery, and there comes a great trust with this. I will be delivered to the only place I could arrive, and it's always exact, perfect in the only time it could possibly, ever be. 

life brings me always to this moment. 

there is nowhere else to be found, always here, now - and it's this moment that comes lightly, arriving to my response. From this point on, life continues in its flow, and I am lighter now, less weight to my concerns. 

lightly, lightly...the world goes on.
