Could it be that simple?

Who’s even interested? There is so much, such an abundance of expressions all over the place!

What’s worth saying, passing along? And who may ever be interested in it? In order to find out, one has to take the risk of offering something, put it out there for all to see. And still, as it goes with the human framework, it may be of highest quality, but if it did not strike a chord and get attention spreading, it may just wither away, unless one were on fire to the extent that it didn’t need any outside nurturing to exist, to come into and stay in existence.

Then the question arises, what becomes of it, where does it go, when one passes on. Will there be a legacy that survives? Will there be others who pick up the threads and reins? It does matter, and still it does not! Because the fulfillment of purpose is in the present moment, not in the future, nor in the past. Fulfillment is in the now. It all is in the present moment. Or else, there is nothing. This sounds quite absolute. Could it be that simple?

One pivot after another

One pivot of harmony after another. All in the present moment. Start small — in steps. Try something new. Not all at once. But steady. With focus and flexibility. It’s a celebration, a privilege to facilitate oneself in spiritual freedom. The purpose is fulfilled in the now. The rest is hardly that relevant. Creating is creation’s goal. Then, it is best left to be what it is. Move on with the flow, let go of what was. Enjoy the now for what it is. What else is there anyway?

Illusions abound. Smoke and mirrors make up much of human society, interaction, and politics — all sorts of relationships. Close ones, dear ones hold together. Goodwill and love carry the day, carry life in harmony. The more the better. But this physical world is characterized by duality and food chains. What do you eat? And what eats you? There is power in size. Big can stomp the small, unless it’s so small, it can get inside the big. Thus, very small has more strength than big. This we tend to overlook.

Maybe Singing or Dancing

It's enough.
And still, there's always more.
Never too little.
And never too much.
Though few see it as such.
Most see not enough on one hand,
and too much on the other.
But really, there is a balance.
It's different in every moment anew.
It does not stay the same.
It flows - the flow.
It sounds - the sound.
It shines - the light.
It loves - the love.
**
Most hesitate before turning a corner.
Try to look ahead and see what's there.
Then take the plunge and see for real.
Or pull back and wonder what it could have been.
Obviously it's preferable to step ahead
and find out, explore, experience.
Thus, one can know for real.
And then, remain silent.
For there's nothing to debate.
It is what it is.
Someone who has not yet experienced it
can speculate and wonder what it could be.
But once experienced, there is no point
in further speculation;
nor does it bring much
for who still holds back 
from turning the corner,
except for encouragement
to step ahead and not retreat,
to explore further and find out
for oneself and all.
***
Not saying much,
but being,
smiling,
maybe singing or dancing.

The Whole — Not the Hole

Sometimes, sooner or later, a hole needs to be dealt with, plugged, or otherwise tended — if one aims to realize the whole, that is. A hole may be ignored. Chances are, it will become bigger then, and one could fall into. A big one may require help to get out, if stumbled into. There is help at hand — as much as needed, not more, nor less. Life and love are measured exactly, as seen by soul from beyond duality.

There is no good nor bad. That enables one to better sort out the good from the bad, the bad from the good. At the same time one may realize that the bad is in the good, and the good is in the bad, as long as it or one is in duality. Therefore it is a worthwhile goal to reach beyond duality, especially while living in it.

Everything Was One

It was a useful paradox to slow down the pace to get more done, to be able to catch up as possible. Tending one thing though meant not tending another — all others. Thus there seemed always something else that accumulated while tending one thing — unless one thing became everything, and everything was one.
