Today I Am!
No thing more need be said. No thing more can be said.
No other explanation is needed to recognize the self. No other statement is necessary.
When I am able to walk this straight path toward self, when I am able to step into this garden of goodness, no thing can shake me or drag me into fields of fear and despair.
Today I pause whenever possible for the remembrance of all things being for the good. Today I recognize the good everywhere because the good is all that remains when I sift through the facts and arrive at the underlying truth of my nature and the nature of all things.
On this day, I recall that my reality takes place in two worlds, simultaneously; the inside and the outside. On this day I practice again the dance of the interior and the exterior rooms. I open to the steps which flow in a circuitous path from my heart spilling out in every direction and imprinting love in everyone I meet, everything I see, everything I make contact with; regardless of the facts. It is not the facts of the outside world that fuels me, it is the truth of the inside world where I reside that feeds my senses and opens me to a wider view of *what is*.
The facts of the outside world barely exist as they follow their nature and diverge and change and are invented as my projection of perceived reality.
Today I am happy because my bus came on time, now I am disappointed that there is no seat on the bus, now I am angry at the traffic jam holding us on the bridge, now I am excited at the possibility of sitting next to the beautiful being in the back of the bus, now I am relieved that we made it to downtown. Now I am exhausted at all the shifts in mood and reality just getting to work!
All of that change, on a bus!
Heaven knows what the day will bring at work and then back home with family. All meaningless and changeable is this outside dance. All shifts and is unreliable in the dance of day to day drama. All with the potential to create stress and discomfort as I scurry around for a core of constancy.
Who needs this? You and I do not wish to go about the day subject to the whims and fancy of moment to moment alteration.
You and I desire a constant contact with truth and with a heart of connection to creative living.
A life that is in contact with the stream of change and is navigated with the oars of gratitude and service is what we seek.
You and I deserve a current of connection with the internal dance of truth and that dance is living love.
Love is the answer. Love is the question. Love is the one asking the question and hearing the answer.
The seeing of the unity of all things is the stress free way of dancing the interior dance.
