You will ask me how I got here
In reality, I do not know
I surrendered to my brokenness
What you see now is emergent flow
It is not a part of Creation
Since it was before things are
The zero point of beingness
Collapsing distance from what seemed far
Be still and then you’ll know
Has nothing to do with stopping
Just as rising from the fall
Is not a consequence dropping
It is more like finally arriving
To the place I never left
By getting to the “other side”
Through borrowing another’s death
Now coming back to life
I choose to live like I’m twice born
Reinhabiting an incarnation
Through the veil that has been torn
Now when looking through the windows
I see what cannot be described
To those who breathe like they are living
But have yet to come alive
This is now the indescribable impetus
For everything that’s coming through
My actions coming from inaction
A human being before I do.

Beautiful, accurate, am right with you in every line. Thank you.
Thanks for coming to the site and taking the time to comment.
Hi again, I went to your site and saw that Gangaji is your teacher. I doubt that she will remember me. But, I interviewed her for a local paper in New England about 15 years ago. I haven’t thought about her in years. But, once I saw her name on your site, it triggered the remembrance that my life’s trajectory completely shifted after interviewing her.
