As Above the Clouds, So Below

This morning I awoke in the full 

glory of sunrise, above the clouds. 

Easy to be present. 

Then the descent. Literally. 

Bellow the clouds, there is reality. 

Not easy to be present. 

Both are good opportunities for the work.

You Wander...

 

Amedeo Modigliani

"You wander from room to room 

hunting for the diamond necklace 

that is already around your neck!"

From Mervyn...

 

Edward Burne-Jones

 From Mervyn - 

he also said something to the effect that 

often we think it is the soul who is speaking. 

But it’s really the creature in us 

and we don’t even know it. 

I have verified this many times with myself, 

even the nice creature. 

Because of this I’m sitting here right now, 

seeing my creature with its many I’d 

and just holding it 

with some divided attention when I remember. 

It is really a moment to moment, 

second to second thing. 

So grateful because it is helping me separate a little. 

The creature is here 

and it seems like an important warning.
