You there lurking in the shadows
the light throws on the walls of your own becoming. The spiny figures flashing on the wall are you, dear hiding away from your own blinding beauty, running hard. Shall we hazard a guess? Is that a searchlight in your hands? Please, I invite you not to flip the switch. Not this time. If you could only see that out there in the deep empty darkness of mystery nothing glows without you It awaits with wonder you to carry your walking, waking presence, your very birth and being across the threshold of nothing into the open arms of beauty.

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.
