There is no fight, so put down your dukes. There is nothing that can be threatened, so take no offense. There is no need to be right, so silence the lips and open the mind. There is no winner without a loser, so stop competing. The only discovery worth having is the day-by-day wonders that reveal themselves to your heart of hearts. There is nothing secondary to the mystery that moves and breathes and has its being in you, through you, and on you.
As the outer dies, the inner forms. That’s what in-formed means. Your purpose is to be formed from within. You’re blossoming into the mysterious fullness that reveals itself in you, morning by morning. And from the outer, you’re dying. All is naught on the outside, yet from the inside all is birthing, expanding, increasing, and deepening.
Let it go. Let the process unfold, and stop fooling yourself that you’re doing anything. Your story has a beginning and an ending, and it’s already been told in complete form. Let the storyteller take you on the journey, but just listen. Don’t get too involved in the story. You’re not the story, you are the witnesser. You are dancing with the divine, meeting itself in story after story. Feel the emotion; feel the pain; feel the joy, but like a movie, walk away when it’s over. Nothing ever stays on the screen of time, just the eternal subject, watching the finite objects go by on the tapestry of story. Dance with it, change with it, go with it. You cannot capture it. Your life is not a means to an end, it’s an ethereal dance that unifies in eternity.
