SHE SITS HERE SILENTLY
You can run around and achieve all sorts of things right now, busy busy, buzz buzz, stay distracted, stay addicted, stay productive. Get informed and get involved! Keep up and don’t fall behind. Find a way, figure it out, keep pushing, hustle hustle baby. Oh yes, the encouragement of the money makers, how shiny! Can you hear the stress heads calling for your company? There they go on the desperate race from death towards meaning. Are they wrong? No. None of us are wrong. Right? Do you know you are right? Your rightness is validated by your results. Did it work? Are you creating what you want right now? Is this busy work getting you to the top of your mountain? Noise invades from every direction. Ears aching, mind static, tension bleeds into our body. Losing control, we are overtaken by the voices, clicking, clanging, barking. All I want is a peaceful life. Give me silence or a pair of Bose headsets, anything so I can escape this chaos.
Close your eyes and explore the celestial landscape of your inner world. Breathe in...deeper, deeper, deeper, stretch your lungs. Do you feel the space you just created inside? It feels good, doesn’t it? What an expansive universe of sparkling delight you hold inside. Are you ready to stop stretching your fingers outside in the thin wispy emptiness? Plunge them into the warm gooey. Yes, down there in the dark spaces. Maybe it’s been a while since you’ve been here, traveling deep into the soul caverns. Hairs may stand up when you come close to the twistiest corners. Make friends with them slowly. Your heart may sigh upon the rolling vistas. Gaze as long as you like. It’s okay. You’re always welcome here, for a lifetime and beyond.
Many years ago, a meditation teacher instructed me. “Don’t just do something, sit there.” He laughed of course and today I grin as I pass this wisdom on to you. The world will shout at your sweetness and depth, nagging you to get up and do something fast. “Don’t just sit there!” you’ll hear the voices yell. But from now on, when you close your eyes, you can us whisper, “Sit there, beautiful one. Enjoy your being.”
I LOVE YOU
