Unfinished

this body is not me
but I am in it
what happens to it
happens not just to me
but to the whole of humanity
and divinity

Pause, Breathe, Love

We are not our thoughts.
They rise up,
narrating our actions,
but they are not us.

Nor are we our emotions.
They rise up,
influencing our perceptions,
but they are not us.

We are the breath that nourishes us-
the sacred pause
that comes between the moments
that make up our lives.

We are the love that unites us-
the sacred bond
that connects us to all things
and gives meaning to life.

We are pure awareness-
the sacred knowledge
that we must hold both beauty and pain
to be truly alive.

No, we are not our thoughts or emotions.
We are sacred beings-
 luminous, sacred beings-
alive now, and only now.
