We are one

We are one in the endeavour

there is no giver or receiver

we are one

there is no lover and beloved

we are one 

there is no teacher and learner

we are one 

It is all embraced in love

encased in love

swimming in love

living in love.

Be courageous enough to meet yourself

 Today

be courageous
be really courageous
allow yourself time and space
to journey beyond time and space
to meet yourself
sitting in your favourite chair
wearing your favourite clothes.

Be courageous enough to meet yourself
be yourself
love yourself.
There is no greater gift than this
no greater blessing than this.
Allow yourself to stop and breathe
to be
just be
with no thought of what comes next
no thought of what is.
Lay down your plans, thinking, schemes
they are the blocks
that stop you meeting yourself.
Release the covers of ignorance
the creator of shade and darkness
let the light shine out.

A daring one looks inward
to meet themselves.
Many are called
few hear the call
fewer still heed the call
knowing it as myself, not other.

Today
be courageous
be really courageous.
Oneness longs to be discovered
acknowledged, known and loved.

What is meditation?

A conscious non-doing
allowing the universe to speak
instead of our small, narrow mind.
A conscious turning away from
the mundane every day
turning towards unknowing
with a willing and open heart.

Meditation is to be
desire-free, need-free, carefree.
Allowing all ideas of me and mine
to be thrown into the wind
to see how and where and if
they will land.
Meditation is not an action
but a conscious non-action
a giving up of doing to allow being.
Space to see and hear the ideas
of who we think we are
that keep us small and bound
Transcending all ideas
to be who we always are and have been
pure, perfect, free.
