Everything is light
Everything is life
Everything is right

Every turn
Every scripture
Every scorn
Every rupture
Can't hurt you
Eternally nestled within the cradle of Divinity
Endless, abounding safety

I see God in everyone's eyes
Even in the glaring hateful stare of my enemy
I see a friend to me
Life has no limits
We are boundless
One day to leave the body,
To expand our Spirit.

I can hear it
The secrets of the Mother Earth
The more you quiet your individuality
The more you can hear the Truth of reality

All previous ******* has been obliterated
Within this flesh I have been designated
Assigned a human obligation
Bound by flesh and it's desires
To spread the teachings
That God lies dormant within us
And when awakened, is far reaching

Insecurity used to take hold of my body
And forecast my every move, thought, and inclination
I existed within a constant state of deprivation
In life I did not participate for hesitation
I missed countless celebrations
Because I searched for external celebrations
Fabricated Happiness
But I always turned up empty handed
And sorely lost
Until Spirit, surely, but slowly
Led me to open my inner eye
And I started to experience great celebrations within myself
When I gave up searching,
When I gave up my identity
Surrendered my desires
And practiced detachment

Either sprawled out, limbs outstretched
Or sitting upright in a meditation pose
Surrendering to the Divine
Allowing dogma to flow away from you
Making your body the church, the temple
Which Spirit and light can fill
All worries melt away
As once again,
You recognize your origins.
