Through Devotion

Through devotion:

it's through devotion - that by nature I serve in endless capacity, empty, yet instantly fulfilled. As openness, I am devoted to every varied form, the detail of each appearance of the world. Through form I owe existence to what allows, spaciousness, and my seamless trade between the two. It's self, in devotion to the selflessness of its nature. 

one thing, truly. 

this is my own meaning of the Heart Sutra, that emptiness is willing to lend itself for my appearance, and yet my existence remains true to the formlessness that allows my world to be. It's the devotion of one thing, reality in constant answer of its own prayer to reach fulfillment. To know I am this answer, that I have somehow been prayed into existence from the formlessness of before - there is no question of my devotion. 

so too, I know I am deserving - there is no question of worth, I am deserving by my very nature, by simply being here at all. This is a worth that comes without cause, nor reason, life itself without need for self-reflection. Everything simply is, alive, and for its own sake and meaning. My devotion is to this, to this aliveness both seen and unseen. It's too for my own self in every form, and too to the formlessness of my existence. 

it's simply gratefulness to be alive.
