Choice
Perhaps
there are no mistakes
only takes
…or missed takes
experiments in experience, all
an extravagant exercise in the exchange
of choices and consequences
of lessons to be learned or revisited
An endless sequence
of opportunities to extract
— simple truth
through the lens of awareness
Fully present
Fully immersed
more fully Realized
Everything
— is a gift
What happens has only as much meaning as we give to it
and we learn only as much as we choose to allow
Life orbits back within itself
and Time is a meditation
at the wormhole connecting
paradox
to the swirling irony of our small reality
There is no judgement
…no punishment
There is no sin
…no evil
only better or worse versions
of what can be
at every scale of infinite possibility
of a present state relative to its pure self
Resonating with more or less harmony
in greater or lesser unity
with true nature
It is enough to know better from worse
and to try again
There are no straight lines or perfect circles
in a universe of constant motion
in the interstitium
of creative consciousness
which connects all things
…the radiance of Dark energy
…the illumination of Dark matter
slyly hint
at the numinous mystery of luminous Being
Justice prevails in an exquisite equilibrium
concealed within an illusion of random
conflict, chaos, contradiction, and entropy
A cosmic equalization maintaining
a precious balance
and the integrity of the whole, embedded
within the eternal transformations
manifesting from the joy of universal intelligence
Virtue is authenticity
…energized
in the vulnerability of opening
to compassion
and grateful acceptance
Unconditional Love is the only prescriptive absolute
of moral behavior
in a long arc of becoming
more aware
Enough
you are
Enough
Surrender without attachment
Release resistance and insistence
Witness without judgment
Accept without blame
Awareness transcends understanding
Reach for gratitude
with an open heart and find
the meaning of forgiveness.
