Clarity
Jumping
from high up I land.
I
am here.
Each
moment holds the possibility
of
presence and awakening.
Each
moment holds the possibility
of
releasing or gathering in.
Each
moment holds the possibility
of
embracing the mystery of all life.
Each
moment, this moment, gives birth
to
realizing my wholeness and beauty.
Each
moment can be a catalyst of stillness
for
exploring right action in the world.

"Deep
clarity is not reached through thought, it's rather through
transcendence
of thought.
So
let go of trying to figure it out and allow the profound silence
within
to
lead you to clarity.."

The
Knowing
So
may we, in this life, trust
to those elements we have yet to see.
May we lean into the wings
that surround us,
May we know in our deepest knowing
that we are not alone
that if we fall we will be caught
by the invisible web of magnificence
we weave every day.
And in that knowing,
may we, like the wings themselves,
rest and rise
rest and rise
rest and rise and soar
to unseen heights.
to those elements we have yet to see.
May we lean into the wings
that surround us,
May we know in our deepest knowing
that we are not alone
that if we fall we will be caught
by the invisible web of magnificence
we weave every day.
And in that knowing,
may we, like the wings themselves,
rest and rise
rest and rise
rest and rise and soar
to unseen heights.
Come,
let us fly.

Remember
daily to hug yourself with your own wings.
Some
Buddhists say that like a bird with two wings we need both wisdom and
compassion to support our action in the world. The question of which
comes from the other, or which comes first, is irrelevant. It is like
asking which comes first the chicken or the egg. The inquiry logic
comes from a dualistic view of the world versus a non-dual.
Both
proceed from each other and need each other. What is more important?
The inhale or the exhale? Both are needed for the other to flourish,
and can not exist without the other.
So
remember to wrap yourself each day with wisdom and compassion.
