No Hurry

No hurry: 

so really, I'm never asked to make a choice here, it's not about choosing to be kind, nor deciding to forgive. My only option is to hand everything over to the Holy Spirit, that part of the mind that is always right with its every decision, already connected to the source of love, and simply waits, patiently, for me to turn in its direction -

there's no hurry.

as eventually, when my suffering's far too much to bear alone...

I surrender to it's presence.

smiling that again, it took so long for me to do so.

Gently Offered

Gently offered: 

it's a quiet stance of kindness, peaceful, and still life continues in it's flow. There's no enlightenment found here, a smile, gently offered, is my awakening. I've finally arrived, a sincerity of practice, and it's simply forgiving, forgiving, forgiving -

everything, 

with no exceptions.

until there's just a moment cleansed of my projections...

and my heart is given to the world.

Sometimes

Sometimes:  

sometimes, maybe often, I simply choose the wrong teacher - not purposely so, at least not at this point in my practice of forgiveness. But still, a wrong choice just the same. What's great is that I quickly recognize my mistakes now, pivoting seamlessly to my most loving option. Sometimes, no one will notices my turn towards the louder voice of ego, it's so clear to me that this is not the direction I wish to go, and easily, with a small degree of grace...

I smile.

and simply choose again.

Having Faith

Having faith: 

it's only to the extent that I'm able to surrender, and nothing more is ever asked of me - as I am always able to define this edge, whatever little willingness I'm able to offer...

and this is exactly where the Holy Spirit meets me. 

for me, it feels like maybe, finally, I've arrived here, this edge of letting go and allowing myself to truly be guided by this gentle voice within. The paradox is that I'm more frightened than ever,as it seems I have so much to lose should my surrender prove wrong. Yet, as well, there's no turning back, there is no place existing even to return to - all I have is this present moment and a willingness to listen.

I've been led to this precipice.

a dangerous place indeed.

and now I'm asked to trust, to finally let go...

having faith that I can fly.

Trust

Trust: 

approaching a gentler way, kinder, and slowly developing the trust that there's a plan greater than my own at play right now. It's this faith that allows kindness to unfold, knowing, deeply so, that through the continuous practice of forgiveness - I am able to return to the holiness of each present moment, no matter how far I may seem to stray...

and that here, 

my true self is found.

Surprisingly Easy

Surprisingly easy: 

it's surprisingly easy, and yet my entire life I have made every difficult decision on my own, never once turning to the loving guide within me and surrendering my fears. Now, having blundered through life feeling so completely alone - I'm ready to let go. 

I'm ready to listen.

finally.

A Course in Miracles reminds me that there's but one answer, and it's never my first and loudest option that only makes demands. There's a gentler voice within, powerful, and without need to shout to me it's answer. The Course calls this the Holy Spirit, a conduit between absolute love and the tiny mad idea of separation. The promise here is that I'm never alone, there's always a presence within that guides me towards the ultimate company of God. My only role is to ask with the faith that this promise is already and immediately fulfilled...and the answer is always love. 

it's surprisingly easy.

finally.

Look Deeper

Look Deeper: 

it's amazing to consider such a large role that guilt plays through our lives, deeply so, and to the point that it unconsciously drives our every action. It's this guilt that we project out onto the world, seeing our every mistake as a transgression worthy to be called sin. We've made a guilty world and now fill it with characters to play their role well, actors who provide an opportunity for us to judge and condemn - yet still our own sense of guilt remains unhealed. 

forgiveness is the answer.

or at least that's the promise of A Course in Miracles. Just as Buddha taught of suffering and how to alleviate it's effects, the Course offers similar in it's instructions on guilt. The focus on forgiveness is to heal our sense of guilt, not to excuse behavior in another, but to find the guiltless core present within others and to recognize it as our own. Forgiveness sets us free, healing the hurtful effects of deep seated guilt, and so then we undo the suffering of the world. 

it's a simple practice.

we only believe that we are guilty, mistakenly dragging past events to the present moment and judging them as now. We are imprisoned by the non-existence, tied to our perceptions, and limited by the smallness of our view. 

forgiveness says look deeper. 

we are free.

boundless.

guiltless at our core.

and seeing this, finally...is how we heal the world.
