Don't Call It Anything

Don't call it anything: 

don't call it anything - life itself is absent of description, happening at once and by its own notice and design. It's what we awaken to, our own current moment of being alive and belonging to life through every aspect if its flow. There's nothing else but this. To even say that we're awakened implies a subtle line in our participation, that perhaps things will be different than before. 

life is always exactly as it is.

there's nothing to be liberated from, no enlightenment gained - there's only being alive and appreciative that each moment happens. How could we be removed from any of this? Liberated from what? Life is the only present option, and even death is simply another mode if its expression. Enlightenment offers us nothing that isn't already here.

we only awaken to what's present.

always here.

with no claim of liberation - we belong through every moment that life offers, holding sorrows deeply and feeling the lightness of our joys. Suffering happens, grief, life is full in what it brings. Nothing is excluded. We are awake to our very own belonging. To see ourselves as life is to be in awe of all of its expression. We're not removed from any one of them. The only true liberation is to know ourselves as alive, present to all that happens, vulnerable. 

don't call is anything - it all happens on its own. 

it's simply life.
