Impeccable
The Way of Nature —
the Nature of the Way —
the
Way
of
All
Things
can not be understood
with the mind
addicted to intellect, logic and reason.
For the Way
is mysteriously infinite —
ineffable —
so vast and expansive
there is no space further out —
so subtle and infinitesimal
there is no space further in.
In fact, the further out we go,
the further in we go
at the same time —
the further in we go,
the further out we go
at the same time.
Resplendent in the magnificent, mysterious, intricately-woven complexities
of the manifest universe —
from the subtlest vibrations of the universal quantum field,
to the over 70 octillion atoms that come together,
condensing in perfect synergistic synchronicity
to form a single human body —
to the colossal, dynamic power of a single red hyper-giant star such as Canis Major —
there is nowhere we can explore —
no where that we can go —
no where
where we can not find
the
Way
—
expressing,
exploring,
experiencing
itself
in infinite variations —
myriad manifestations
—
if we but have the eyes to see,
the ears to hear
and a heart-mind
open wide
in child-like innocence, gratitude, joy and wonder.
Indeed, if all the Children of the Living Soil —
Children of the Infinite Light —
would simply re-awaken
re-member
and
re-alize
not
two
all things would —
of their own accord —
return
to their pure, natural, impeccable state of Be-ing —
unified, balanced and harmonious —
nothing missing —
nothing broken —
all manifestations of Life
abiding together —
as
one —
in peace, balance and harmony —
one with the Way of Nature —
the Nature of the Way —
One Body
One Breath
One Heart
One Mind
One Essence
One Light
One Love
One Truth
One Song
