A landscape of human life
appears and reveals itself
in the depth
and lightness of colour,
offering awareness
of its dimension.
Beings and babies
born
in this space between
awakening,
into a new geometry
of perception.
Just looking.
Just breathing
Just noticing
moment by moment.
With a lifetime of situations,
contemplations,
dispositions, relationships,
and responsibilities,
knitted garments
of visual character,
incorporate and attach
themselves to human
skin as a person’s ally,
to the body of live cells,
neuro-networks, and
sparks of energy
pre-tending
to be me.
An accumulated thickness
of skin personalized,
as the way we see ourselves,
live our lives,
and define our personages,
begins weaving and knitting
threads of living together.
In between the gaps
of the entwined threads of life
a glimpse of nothing,
no one thing,
no garment,
no disposition,
no single signature,
just life itself
as incredible stillness,
fullness, renewable energy, and
realms of infinite possibilities,
with an added awareness of
how tight the knitted garment
feels and how defined we
become by it.
And slowly, one day
the thread is pulled and
the unraveling of a lifetime,
or a moment, begins
to pop and stretch out
as far as the eye can see
and there is timelessness
to breathe and move again.
Beings and babies being
born
in the space between,
awakening,
into a new geometry
of perception.
Just looking.
Just breathing.
Just noticing
moment by moment.
Unraveling our roles
served well and deeply,
allowing time and time again,
to come back
to the space of self-less-ness,
allowing true nature
to simply be itself
in whatever situation, disposition,
characterization
it finds itself in.
undefined, yet valued,
always present and whole as
no one thing,
yet at the same time everything,
vital to the whole
free to be,
part of the beauty
of this universe,
this one verse,
we all are born out of.
Extinguishing the fight or fright,
flight or fear of suffering
inviting our selves to light a candle
of devotion,
out of the essence of love
we all are.
Substantially present
to live within the vastness
of everything that always is
and always will be,
alive.
Each life offering distinction,
embellishment, contrast and illumination
upon the parts that show
how the vast waters flow,
or the colours coincide and blend,
how the music shapes notes
that harmonize
with voices melting into words of
communication,
authentication
and common-ness.
Then, will suffering be lifted
when we see ourselves,
not only in the eyes of others,
but part of each other,
as we unravel the cloaks of
personality and invisibility
allowing the lightness of each human being
to sparkle and shine
glide and swim
notice and care
be of value
to that which is living
here
there
and everywhere
in the originality of life.
