"From the page"
Here is the path;
Imagine you are walking alone in nature
during the peak of springtime, on a beautiful high mountain lane.
You recognize that off to your right,
through the trees is a broad vista of the valley below.
Just ahead you notice a small side trail heading that way;
should you take it; why not, it's going your way.
Very shortly you move through the trees, and break into an opening
overlooking the vast expanse of a high mountain valley
maybe a thousand feet below.
There the wind whispers in your ear stay awhile.
So you find a seat and listen to the quiet wind come from afar.
Wind and tiny birds are the only sounds you hear in timeless expansive peace.
After awhile so content, with quiet expansive mind filling space,
you have noticed before you, a single wild rose swaying in the breeze.
It seems a lovely joyful dance to you;
so lovely your heart swells with the immensity of this grand scene
and little rose; such beauty all.
What strikes most deeply is this gift;
if you had gone the other way, this moment would never be.
Perhaps no eyes would fall upon this rose to acknowledge its loveliness.
And the rose doesn't seem to care, it may return again and again,
hoping to catch the eye of God.
And today in this timeless sacred moment you, the rose, the valley, the mountain
are all vessels for divine mind, so fully present in this moment here;
as it always is, potentially in every single moment, in every single place.
This is the mystic path,
the divine presence you seek and it is always everywhere.
Your path when you allow your awareness to awake to it,
in any & every precious moment.
This awaking is not external to you, coming on to you,
it arises in you, it is being you, now and always;
only you are forgetting what's there in you always.
Just remember the temple you seek is in you always;
any moment you may open the door
and enter that sacred space of communion
with the divine in your heart.
Now & forever carry that knowing with you;
be it and you will share it.
