A walking experience
Of apparent pleasant
Happenings of morning..
The scurrying squirrel
The couple with dog
Tree shadows with sun..
The "I Am" of which
We are vibrates this way
And that...

Made in the image
The Book says..
Then arises our
Dilemma of conditioning:
We look for God in
Our body-image..
And our mind exclaims:
Why not..? What's next..?
But of conditioning beware..!
The Book also says: I Am
With nothing beside..
Bringing shock and awakening:
Our body-image dances
Within and As
I am...

All of our desires spring
From Happiness shaded by
Something seemingly separate..
Most of our lives are spent
Looking for..or losing
That something..
Until that moment when we
Recognize that Happiness
Is never lost but awaits our
Lifting the shade...

Despite beliefs contrary
Our culture's message is
Death is a frightful end..
There is unwillingness to
Consider that we stumble
As we walk in the darkness..
Gripped by handcuffs
Of  illusory separation..

Disregarding many hints
We weep as we hold a finality
In appearances of life ending..
We all await that moment
Whether lengthy or brief
To discover that Life has
No beginning and no end..

Appearance
Is a saving word
Saving our anxiety
Of who we are..
The simplicity of
Appearance is
A temporary shaping
Of our real Self
Nothing more..!
Then we inquire
What is being shaped
And the reply stuns...!

Words of transformation and
Words of activism are subject
To the lens viewing these words
And all words..
The lens used by a vast majority
Is the lens of "separation"
(Sin is the Christian term)
So..most of us are living in sin..!

Leading to the inquiry:
Is a new lens available in which
The old lens melts in the fires
Of Truth now told...?

We remember now
Our lives as Grace..
And we Know
Heaven and earth as
Expressions of Grace..
With this Experience
The Kingdom has come..
Hereafter we expect
Our daily nourishment
As recognition that all
Debts are dissolved in
The Grace which we are..
Thus..we express now
Our gratitude and joy
For the power and glory
In our lives lived as
Grace...
