From This Absolute

from the absolute - and nothing more. This is not the abstract notion of another plain within existence - it's simply the sum of our experience as of now, nothing more than this, and it's continuation in infinite mystery of space and form. It is absolute as nothing is apart from this very moment, no lines drawn to show a history or future residing on their own. From this absolute - it all belongs. Everything. 

There is no need to deny what seems a misplaced thought, or an experience that doesn't feel as if it belongs in our reality. If it is now - it is. 

And will be until no

longer.

From this absolute - and nothing more.

There is No Practice to Receiving

to find myself inspired - and to know it's simply a welcoming of the moment, no less so then anytime ever given. Yet for reasons unknown - there is an openness to receive. There is no practice to receiving, no end goal of written words or final project. There is this moment, and writing, and the mystery of it all.

It's Happening All The Time

and it only seems to be an evolution - progression to the point of letting go. Nothing is truly ever held to, there is no line of surrender that parts our understanding. Everything comes in time as a mystery - departing as the same. Letting go simply happens. 

Right now.

Each word here is read only in the immediacy of presence - and then let go not a moment past its time. There is no effort, no conscious choice of surrendering words to some great void. Everything belongs to its own length of stay, regardless of a wish or curse. Yet even this, even our desire for a lasting pleasure or a rush for pain to go away - even this belongs for how ever long it does. It seems we reach a point where we simply let it all go. Awakening, we see, it's happening all the time.

Even Though I know Better

coming to the page - uncertain, free, even of expectations for words to appear. I know only that I will be met by an allowing space for their appearance. Or perhaps even this is an assumption. Until, in fact writing happens, until words fall through fingers to reach the page - there is only possibility. It's enough to find myself here. 

 maybe later I will claim an ownership to what is found.

even though I know better.

And So It All Goes On

unopposed - and even our resistance is met in the unconditional embrace of surrender. It all happens in the very moment of occurrence, nothing appears that at least for that instant doesn't belong. This too includes our wish for things to be other than what they are at present. It's in this awareness that we relax, our internal conflict given space to play out its length. Everything is - exactly as it is. Our action will be given within this same awareness. 

And so it all goes on - unopposed.

Nothing More to Do

already surrendered - and each 

moment complete in its

acceptance

there is nothing more to do

It's Our Song As Well

even stillness is not static - always this great allowing, life being in motion, and ever expanding in its capacity to hold the things of the world. Nothing is apart from this, a song is not separate from the silence surrounding each note, music being one thing in expression and existence. As this, stillness/motion, capacity/object - it's our song as well.
