A Personal World

A personal world: 

to reclaim a personal world, the Heart Sutra drawn to its natural conclusion - that emptiness holds the world as its fulfillment, one thing in a trade of space for infinite variety and beauty. It's all personal, for indeed we find ourselves here, with no discerning reason other than the joy to be. This is our world, somehow from emptiness and now it all belongs, ours, and we are held by the very spaciousness that gave us our beginning. 

emptiness serves, it's the alchemy of becoming and the start of all we know - there is nothing that appears right now that doesn't belong, and this includes our own sense of a personal world, intimate, that it all unfolds from our very fingertips for this touch alone. We seem to lose this intimacy in so many ways, through the false belief of a distant god that gave the world its creation, to the infatuation of emptiness as our own beginning. It's easy to lose sight of what's truly present. 

this, right now, and all that's here - is ours, and more so, it's completely what we are. If there is a god, there is no distance between us. Emptiness is always present, formlessness to form, personal, and now reclaimed as our own fulfillment. Everything that's present belongs for whatever reason it does, only mystery holds the answer. What's reclaimed is all of this, that we are deep in this belonging, given form and a self to truly now this world. Nothing has to change for this to be, no realization brings us any closer to the reality of this present moment. 

it's a personal world...cherish it.
