Yes, as Toni has said, to be read again and
again....Such thoughts from both you and
Charles..."Don't search for meaning you tell me...Listen,
respond, and let meaning be revealed"...and so much more...You are
truly a vessel spoken thru on a journey all of us are also
on..<br><br>

Your Presence in Death<br><br>

<font face="Times New Roman, Times">Thank you my love for the gift of
your presence<br>
</font><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times">even in death, because of death.<br>
</font><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times">It is because of it that the journey
you are on <br>
</font><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times">is inscribed on my body with the ink
of forgiveness;<br>
</font><br><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times">it is because of it that having
nothing left to lose,<br>
</font><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times">I have no preference, <br>
</font><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times">although I care, I care a lot,
equally, for everything;<br>
</font><br><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times">it’s because of it that I do not
mind being swept in the current <br>
</font><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times">with no attachment <br>
</font><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times">for it is the current of all
opportunities,<br>
</font><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times">a place of opening, receiving,
investigating with curiosity, <br>
</font><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times">a neutral place where the light of my
divinity is constantly unfolding.<br>
</font><br><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times">You offer me the relief of not having
another task,<br>
</font>
<a name="PageNumWizard_FOOTER_Default Page Style4 Copy 4 Copy 1 Copy 1">
</a><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times">the power to know that the way I see
manifests my world,<br>
</font><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times">the power to be me, whole, <br>
</font><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times">to become the axis that joins
what’s above and what’s below.<br>
</font><br><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times">Don’t search for meaning, you tell
me,<br>
</font><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times">listen, respond and let meaning be
revealed.<br>
</font><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times">In the world I often visit lately
<br>
</font><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times">words don’t stand for something
else, <br>
</font><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times">they contain their own irrational
meaning and significance.<br>
</font><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times">Don’t ask me to be reasonable, the
gods don’t have our logic,<br>
</font><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times">their smile is ambiguous, it contains
the deep sadness<br>
</font><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times">that underlines everything we
experienced since our earthly birth.<br>
</font><br><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times">Night is our home, you whisper,<br>
</font><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times">like the sun we return to it every
evening <br>
</font><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times">to rise again in the morning, <br>
</font><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times">it’s a place where all opposites
meet, where the paradox reigns.<br>
</font><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times">And for this we have to do
nothing.<br>
</font><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times">No more running from yourself, enter
the darkness with no fear,<br>
</font><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times">remember, opening to all of life
including death is pleasure <br>
</font><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times">so, die before you die.<br>
</font><br><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times">When we have a taste of eternity<br>
</font><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times">we long to return to that unlimited
Self<br>
</font><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times">for it is our true state of
being.<br>
</font><br><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times">You can do it in space and time,
<br>
</font><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times">at your own time!<br>
