Dearest One,
There is trembling there, and endless worry. Be still. Offer this soothing balm to the fear that arises within. This one that grasps, so fearful of dying is not the One you are. Know that this one that you are not, is so loved that it was given form, breath, mind. Would Love destroy Love? There is no loss, nothing to be disowned. No obliteration, no one to fix or deny. There is only Love itself, beyond brilliant, bowing at the feet of its own beloved - offering manna for hunger, wine for thirst, a sudden burst of flame for its own illumination. Remain as you are: beautiful body, rich blood, sinner and saint, same only different, knowing and clear. All love, Analisa

The invitation is to leave it alone. To let life be. To know yourself as being lived. That is what is happening here. Life is alive as you, through your breath, through your being. Don't look for it elsewhere. It does you and undoes you, over and over again. You are not the doer. Stop claiming that you are, and your relentless despair of knowing you are not, will dissolve. The belief in the doer, in the future, in something rich and magical beyond this place, is what deadens you, and crushes your heart. The belief in something greater than this has held you captive, left you for dead. And yet you fear death. The only death you will ever know is this lifeless longing. Question these beliefs, awaken from them, and live it out loud. Then you will know yourself as boundless life, as freedom, and your body will age and die fully alive, without regret, endlessly beautiful.
