Series of Simple Contemplations

The rock, the chair, the black hole and stars are all a part of each of us just as we are each made up of all the eons that have come before - the mosquito, the vibration of thunder and all things are connected.

We share the spirit of the river stone and the bodhisattva alike.

no matter if yes or no

let it all go...

let it all flow.

To reach the presence of god one must break through the density of the universe, the film that clogs up our minds, eyes, mouths, drips out our ears.

In the fight against the emptiness we all live in, cosmic as it is, we seek to create warmth and recognition, tether the unknowable to chairs and boulders and cardio muscles - substances we understand. But enlightenment comes through the realization that very little understanding actually exists anywhere, just familiarity.

Breathe it all in and let it all go.

In order to transcend our human horizons we must shed everything, toss them all aside - Everything: perceptions, facts, systems and even dreams. We must become as light as the sky that sits on the horizon line so we can float up into the belly of the universe, into the wide whale of existence. To truly find sacred space within the great void we must unbelt ourselves from our skins and become the void, fill it with our essential spirits, becoming glorious vessels transmitting the unfiltered cosmos straight through the thick radio silence of this world. Then, only then might we stand some chance of recognizing the presence of the Divine was within us the whole time.
