A. Wayfarer - Natural Flow.
Look to the root.
We get captivated by what is above ground. What is below? This is like saying, "What is before the question 'what is'?"
*
We need stopping places
- moments, spaces -
where we relax and rest
where we realize anew how easily
we get lost in talking, doing, and going
To stop is not merely a physical act
but an invitation to stillness
sensing nothing needs to be done
to be anything or to prove anything
for we are always, already
that we are
and
'we are' is 'we being'
prior to - to do, doing, and done
Stopping places are places
of remembrance, of that
before we got lost in the
collective forgetfulness
We remember the Name
before names
and know it directly,
not indirectly through image or language
We relearn
through this grace of restfulness
our natural essence of fulfillment,
beauty, and innocence
and
that we are not human doers
we are beings being with all other beings
in a communion
timeless and fathomless
When this aloneness inwardly is
welcomed, we welcome
our place in Life with all
We find
even apart from, we cannot be separate, so
in being alone, we discover the joy of
all beings are al-one
We discover
we can be with the whole world
without going anywhere
for we already
are
*
A stillness underlies
movement and being still.
To know this stillness,
we practice being still.
Without learning to be still,
we do not enter this being-stillness.
- entering is returning
to the root -
Having entered it,
we embody it,
and it and we are one.
