Life Goes On

it's all a letting go - and with 

just this truth to 

hold to,

life goes on

Peace,

Not Surrendered

not surrendered - but simply

allowed in full 

expression, 

of exactly what we are

~

Letting go is not really an action, surrender is not a verb - it's just one moment being expressed in the varied function and exchange of form to formlessness. 

There's nothing really to do -

but simply be.

Peace,

Eric 

Lightly

to hold it all lightly, lightly...and 

through this 

touch,

the world passes

~

we are not disengaged, removed at all from the world - we are active participants of the whole, yet not attached to the things that pass and change on their own accord. 

And everything passes.

Everything changes. 

So we hold it all lightly.

Peace,

Parts Imagined

it's a seamless 

existence -

with only parts imagined

~

So we're aware, and nowhere do we find a break within this - objects are just given space for their distinctions with no clear point of separation from the whole. Looking, with clarity, we find ourselves included.

Any Talent I Assume

there's still a subtle faith in my own inspiration - as if I alone command words to make it to the page on the timeline they've been given. It's quite diminished, not fully believed any longer, but still in the background as I face a day of writing. There was a time when I relied solely on my own creative powers, and so often I found myself left waiting for inspiration to appear. Writers block was certain. I've learned no great secret to overcome this, no technique or method to invoke creativity to my whims. Inspiration is not on demand. But there is a truth I've come to know - words come from nowhere, direct from mystery, and my only role to to simply be present on arrival. I write what appears and the more I am reminded of my own small role the less need for faith in any talent I assume. 

The truth is - it all happens on its own.

A Religion of My Own

a religion of my own - and here, presence, there's 

found a worship of all that's seen,

as well the seamless capacity that

holds it in display.

my only prayer is seeing

Peace,

Out of The Mix

the shift isn't into some greater world, with chaos left, and only peaceful response from this point on - our lives continue in full messiness, and often we will fail in how we wish to respond to it all. It's just how life is. Only now we find ourselves absent from blame and wholly giving ourselves as the space for the world to be. It's a subtle shift from being in the mix to providing ourselves as capacity for this beautiful mix to unfold.

Peace,
