Let the Water Maintain You Now

Lookup, my darling, search for.

Once I hear Him, this area I’m in, at this plain picket desk, this window with the cobwebs on the nook of the steel display screen, this tender rumble of washer, this scent of moist canine close to my toes, I research the room, on the lookout for clues for what’s completely different.

All is completely different? No, all is identical.

However in that place deep inside me, what’s completely different is that I’m nonetheless. Not nervous or fearful. Not anxious or drained. My physique, held on this temporal existence of area and time, feels my lungs filling with air, my thoughts captivated by my coronary heart’s calling: Sure, you might be right here, and greater than right here.

The place the water laps round me, my physique floating, drifting with the rolls of the waves.

Immersed in magnificence, sure. Immersed in Me.

When evening falls, the bottom moist with rain, I bounce barefoot over puddles, a bag of trash clutched in my hand.

Lookup.

I see You. I really feel You.

Inhale. Exhale. Put the bag within the rubbish bin, my eyes mounted on the black sky, the wild glistening of stars.

The One Who Loves teaches me in regards to the water, the great thing about its holding me—physique, thoughts, and coronary heart—so I float within the waves. Turbulence or stillness, chaos or peace, I follow letting the water immerse me.

I follow staying immersed.

I follow letting Magnificence maintain me.

I follow discerning presence.

I follow the fact of being awake, attentive, desperate to take up and stay.

And I let Him maintain me within the waves.

Maybe it’s Creativeness, my expensive good friend, who helps me see myself in them. However as I immerse in these waves, the expertise is greater than Creativeness’s form of seeing. The immersion is realizing. The immersion is proper now. The immersion is Love holding me, educating me to be right here, coronary heart open, arms empty.

I really feel you.

Water, Water, transfer by me.
