Being

In the space of being, there is a grasping at first, to hold to the illusion of self and other.

The grasping peaks, then dissolves into the all encompassing as one.

The self and other are no more the reality; only being.

Sometimes the state of being follows confusion and chaos, that is mostly about other, with no sense of self.

Othertimes it comes from an intense focus on self at the core, that appears unconnected to other.

Both paths bring union, that is the middle; that is being.

This is likened to any creative process manifested, whether it be the cycle of seasons, a human life or an artist's creation.

It is the beginning and the end; the whole cycle complete.

Simply Being.

As the seed opens, so come the torrents of energy in the form of emotion.

Like any new life, the birthing opens the self to the other in a union that is true oneness.

Emotion is the fueling movement to let go, then to just be.

The view from within, that for so long seemed to be the whole world, has now become a particle in the all-changing view.

"Stability" no longer becomes the goal, but opening to what is in the moment freely.

The unwanted becomes the focus of opening with our hearts and minds to dissolve the perception of separate and to widen the view.

To feel is to be open to change and to bridge the self with other, until all is known and accepted as the whole.

There is then only what is now and that is enough.

It is peace in a world that fears the unknown.

It is the salve that brings healing in the present.

The view from within can be fresh when one opens to other with compassion to allow joy of being.
