The Real Secret

The Real Secret:

here's my own secret of inspiration and creativity - that whatever words wish to be expressed will find their way to me with certain ease, and that there's never a need for me to do anything but simply prepare myself though silence, an easy wait of knowing that words will always appear completely on their own. Indeed, this is perhaps the real secret of manifesting our desires, with nothing being truly missing from the moment of our wishing, being blessed right now by the very breath of our existence. Anything beyond this isn't ours yet and not in the means of our control to be delivered. 

life handles the details of all that's given.

the real secret is silence, patience, and being grateful for this moment.

it's being unattached to the means of a particular outcome. 

  of course that's a tricky balance to consider, having any desire is a subtle form of attachment to an outcome. Yet life is constantly delivering the fulfillment of it's own desires, we are met with conditions given for the need of every breath, we have sunlight and abundant water sources, fields and the means to utilize them for planting. Life has given us plenty, fulfilled our base desires. Although certainly there are people largely lacking the basic needs of their comfort and even some for their survival - we have the means aiding them right now, of feeding every hungry child, comforting every ailing parent. The real secret is the priority of our desires and commitment to their fulfillment. 

here's the real secret, every desire has the immediate means of it's own fulfillment, yet we are in a rush to see our own plans unfold in some particular order, we are attached to the means of their achievement. The secret here is of letting go, surrendering each desire to silence that follows its appearance and allowing life to fulfill itself as our potential. We have the right to our every wish and desire, but not the means of their achievement. Life handles every detail on its own, our faith is displayed by every breath taken, by the touch of sunlight on skin. To just exist is reason to be grateful. The real secret is to wish and then surrender, trusting life and the means of its fulfillment. It's with this that we are able to turn our care towards others, our real wish is for their well being. Let's liken this to a string of pearls, our every desire  is connected to the needs of others, aligned with everyone's desire in some subtle form. Our own true fulfillment is in realizing the string of this connection. 

it seems that these are the words that life delivered.
