Let it Go. e.e. cummings

let it go -
the smashed word
broken open vow or
the oath cracked lengthwise
- let it go
it was sworn to go

 let them go -
the truthful liars and
the false fair friends
and the boths and neithers
- you must let them go
they were born to go

let all go -
the big small middling
tall bigger really
the biggest
and all things -

let all go dear
so comes love~ e. e. cummings ~

Emerging from my subconscious...

Floating to the top, out of the depths, like a message from the 8 Ball, is a knowing that my concept of myself is just a make believe mass which I have been orbiting.  It is dark and murky.  It is in front of me at eye level.  It looks like I can reach out and touch it.  I think I will.  I am in a bit of disbelief that I have been orbiting this mass with its gravitational pull for a lifetime paying homage to it and all the time reinforcing my concept of myself. 

Open up the window and let the fresh air in.

Taking a good deep breath and focusing your attention in your body is like pulling back the curtains and opening the window to let the sunshine and fresh air in.  Your body says, "Thank you so much! I've just been waiting to be noticed for so long."  This is life, and the rest is, well, just a pale reflection. 

Viewing the world with empathy is like quality breathing.

They both connect you with yourself and the world.  The test is whether you act your worst towards the worst at your worst - not whether you treat someone well when you are fine and they are fine.  We can all do that.  When we are empathetic we are full of love.  If there are disturbances in our empathy they reflect disturbances or concentrations within us.  That is, we are still living separately from the world and ourselves.  We are still living a life of illusions, separation and forms.  We are choked off.  I wonder what other ways there are to connect to myself and the world.

Thanks Mom. It is nice to be seen and heard, Little Bird

It is AMAZING. And of course it really only responds to Empathy.

I am amazed to discover and nuture a new relationship with my breath.  It is so remarkable that I feel that I am alive for the first time.  How could have neglected my body for so long?  But that is not what I have found today that is even more remarkable and amazing.  I have discovered a new relationship with the universe, God, existence, the matrix, or consciousness.  I am literally stunned and amazed.
