THE DOER AND THE FLOW
When I release the personal “me” as doer,
I join the flow of being.
I move slowly, consciously, lightly,
self-aware and aware of Self.
I am a mother gently rocking her baby,
a breeze rustling autumn leaves.
Things happen by themselves.
Supper gets fixed, the diaper changed, the leaves raked.
Calm, contentment, and love unite us in Creation’s flow, for
action comes effortlessly when the “doer” is gone.
But in the moment of imagined threat,
unity cracks and crumbles,
fear shatters flow, and
I again become the doer.
Could we learn to live without fear
in sacred consciousness?
WAKING UP IN THE MOVIE
We live in our own ongoing movie,
lost in its plot, characters, conflicts, emotions, and desires.
In awakened consciousness,
we step off the screen
and burst out laughing with amazement.
It was all imagined.
No longer owned by the movie’s drama,
how amazing to be so radically free.
