october musing
i'm learning how closely
letting go and forgiving
dance,
how they breathe together.
the heart widens
in and as what is.
compassionately
we are moved on.

a powerful deal
Surrender is not a path or practice.
But it takes practice to
Bring yourself to the doorway
Of your longing,
Of your suffering.
Practice to stay
hovering in the heat,
On the edge
of what is unresolved,
In the hope
of one more stone to turn over.
By allowing the mind to
have its way with you,
suffering arises.
The search to understand,
To resolve
simply becomes intolerable and unnecessary
In the face of what is whole and true.
When you surrender to what is
You don’t lose your mana.
It is, in fact, all you are left with.
It’s yours
To hold
But not to keep.
Family inheritances are ended.
Gratitude begins to give it away,
for free.
What a great deal !
It is an act of profound kindness
Wisely facilitated by the soul
through karma,
Lovingly embraced by the Heart
As its freedom.
Turn radically within,
Surrender to your longing
Find what you long for
And be found by what longs for you.
You have the power to transform
Everything.

cutting to the chase, whatever that means
what if we dared cut straight to the chase
and let life be our teacher?
life doesn't care for my preferences
there's no teacher like life to shred the beautiful veil
to the holy of holies
to what is real
to the only choice
to love.
thunder rolls through the heart
as a prelude for the deluge
of this gift.
mind grapples all the way
to its eventual surrender
and I am left
breathing
and grateful
without knowing why.

she let go
Having let go is an unmistakeable feeling.
It is predicated on a choice.
I sense I will have many more opportunities
to practice this freeing choice
all the way to the last moment
and then, as now,
the choice is to surrender.
Letting go sounds like surrender from this place I sit today,
it is an intelligent choice.
