Presence by nature is welcoming...
so you aligned with Presence
are naturally welcoming
spontaneously invitational
to be this
nothing has to be said or done
all gestures of welcome
arise out of this essence
"Come to me all ..."
Jesus said
welcoming you want to be...
greeting
embracing the other
until the other
is no longer
the other
yet
how to welcome well
the other
when
you've not first
welcomed yourself
stand at the door, knocking
you to yourself, and say
"Hello! Glad to see you. Please come in."
when you've invited yourself in
you've invited likewise everyone
everything
but inviting in
is not to a place but
a relationship
see, emptiness is not an absence
but a presence sharing with
a presence...
this presence is wall-less
so in time
all walls must come down
still
we all live in
the same house
we don't know that
until we've entered
to see ourselves already there
and when seeing yourself there
you see every being there -
even those you thought could never be
