Flowers blooming in Spring,
unfurling in a riotous fling,
the chance to practise good,
to ask, to feel, to be understood.
A wink, a nod, a hand outstretched,
It’s better alive than playing dead.
Letting go of pages that weigh,
staying present in the book of today.
Who knows if tomorrow will come,
wiser to savour this moment’s sweet hum.
Being joyful is a choice to make,
will you live and stay awake?
There comes a time when you feel the urge to truly let go. This isn’t “let go” in the sense of going completely untethered and dancing naked beneath a full moon. Though neither of those things need be considered nefarious actions. This is “let go” when you feel you have reached an equilibrium that you can jettison thoughts, ideas, people, emotions that have been troubling you. When it comes, you will know it. You will sense great waves of tenderness welling up from the pit of your stomach. You will sense a sun shining bright in the recesses of your mind. You will sense a breeze clearing away the debris that had been blocking your spirit. It is quite extraordinary. It is quite natural. It is exquisitely delicious. You will realise how nothing matters. You will also realise how everything matters. In essence, what you will realise, and this perhaps is the greatest truth that we can expose ourselves to over and over, is that once you let go, all that truly matters is this moment. Not what has gone before. Not what will come. But now. Always now. Infinity in the present moment. Awareness of grace. Awareness of serenity. Resting in love.
Treasure this moment
braiding our mortal days
breathe in the longing
