Precious Moment
Take some time, some precious moment to be
Silent..... just silent.
Allow the breeze to caress and soothe your
Hardened heart and for once
Allow your heart to sing it's forgotten song.
Please take a moment
And let the uselessness of the past pass
And be born anew.
In this precious moment
All of creation stops to hear your heart
And it waits in anticipation
For the inevitable unfolding of eternity.
In this precious moment
You are born anew.
Only in this precious moment.
As I dive into stillness, the Sacred Preciousness of THIS Moment enlivens and bursts into sacred fire that kisses Every molecule as it flows and flows. Each precious moment is exquisitely fresh, innocent, magical, full of wonder and magnificence. Every moment is an incredible surprise, I haven't a Clue what comes next - I can go from Joy to sobbing tears in a heartbeat as that is Just what moves through my nervous system sometimes and I no longer suppress anything.
What is revealed today is an invitation for me to rest so very deeply in my body in my experience of silence and to return each time I observe my mind engage with thinking.
I am invited to gently let go of so very much that doesn’t serve me, all that has gone before has brought me here but I do not need to hold on tightly any more to any of it. I am invited to gently drop So very much around my "Searching" and all the beliefs and concepts around that - searching for something else, something other than This Precious Moment. Dropping Any judging of This moment, if it perhaps doesn’t look or feel how I might prefer it to be and therefore dishonouring the perfection of what it is. There has always been a seduction to leave this moment for another, either in the past or the future. Searching for some abstract future or as a concept, as if This precious moment is somehow imperfect and flawed and there is some "better" moment in a future time when All the pieces will some how magically come together. There has been Much mental commentary that ‘when I do x THEN I will be happy”, “ When Y happens THEN I will prioritise my peace” and so on. I witness the dance of leaving this moment and returning. So much of the anxiety and worry I used to live with (and Yes, it Still pops up sometimes) was around a lot of searching for something Else.
Even when I wasn’t running away from Anxiety or such like, I am aware that I have ran towards massive searching for future goals and concepts such as Awakening and Enlightenment and Oneness and all that. I see all the illusions of these concepts. Even the label of Oneness makes me smile as the label itself implies there is something other than one, there must be two, there must be separateness/ duality and that’s not my experience. Everything is an illusion of the mind and I have watched over time how my creative genius mind can often create So very many games to try and distract me and trip me up!
My mind can have all the concepts and information and knowledge it likes but all of this is not my embodied living experience. EVERYTHING IS NOW, there is Nothing else. The Depth of peace, LOVE, Joy and Freedom I experience right NOW rips my heart with beauty. Nothing needs to change, not how much I have in my bank account, not my living or working arrangements or how much I weigh or Anything for me to experience Incredible Freedom that I Never thought I would experience in this lifetime. And then the mind kicks in and takes me out of my experience back into thinking and when I observe I am thinking again I can choose to return to the silence. I chose to put my attention on the silence for me and for anyone who is lost in the record player groves of their mind thinking and believing this is who they are rather than exquisite, divine, limitless magnificence.
