The Centerless Center

See a vein,

and the vein is.

See a vein on a leaf,

and a leaf is.

See a leaf on a branch,

and a branch is.

See a branch on a tree,

and a tree is.

See a tree in a wood,

and the woods are.

See the woods in a field,

and a field is.

See a field in a state,

and a state is.

See a state in a country,

and a country is.

See a country on a planet,

and a planet is.

See a planet in a solar system,

and a solar system is.

See a solar system in a constellation,

and the constellation is.

See the constellation in a galaxy,

and the galaxy is.

See the galaxy in a universe,

and the universe is.

See the universe in Space,

and Space is.

See Space in the vein,

and then the vein IS.

Knowing

An empty explosion

Reality-shattering

Mirror-shattering

Engulfing

Destroying

Emancipating

Illuminating

Transforming

No light show

No spaceships

No masters on mountains

No homecoming

No forms

Beyond

Just

An imperceptible comfort

A knowing

That reveals through self-destruction

Now, there is only ONE

Ineffable

Formless

Empty center/non-centered

Awakened non-dreamer

Before the waves

Before the geometry

Before the numbers

Before the thought

Before the Angels

Before the stars

Before the fragments

Before the tongue

A cradle of nothing /everything

Just

IS

And IS

so much more

Feed Through me God



Feed through me God,

Let me love all with equanimity: be it human, animal, plant, mineral, or element.





Feed through me God,

Let me remember that everyone and everything needs love despite their locations or worldly outer appearance.





Feed through me God,

So that I may know that richness is not measured my monies and that poorness is not measured in lack.





Feed through me God,

So that I may remember that everyone desires love, and I can not choose which; for I know not your grand design so I will love them all.





Feed through me God,

So that I may remember that even the shadow helps reveal the Sun.





Feed through me God,

Let me remember that only in the heart are illusions washed away; and through my heart is the way to the heart of you.





Feed through me God,

So that I will remember that each breath I breathe is a gift from you.





Feed through me God,

So that I will remember to live a life of wonder, awe, and gratitude.





Feed through me God,

Help me remain humble and without judgment even from the vantage of new spiritual experience.





Feed through me God,

Let me love through every foot-fall and in every meeting; being who I am, and not who I think I should be.





Feed through me God,

So that I may I know the joy that is always here.





Feed through me God,

Let me look through my heart for love, knowing no matter the direction it will be found.





Feed through me God,

So that I may know that at the core of everything is LOVE - is US.





Feed through me God,

So that I may see the middle-way personified in the balance of nature.





Feed through me God,

So that I may realize that just outside of my door, or down my street, or in my city are opportunities to love, beyond my wildest imagination.





Feed through me God,

So that I may realize that where I AM is by divine design.





Feed through me God,

So that I may surrender in the knowing that my heart is gracefully guided.





Feed through me God,

Let me connect through silence to the inspiration that will send me love-blinded into compassion.





Feed through me God,

So that I may not doubt myself or Creation; for when I do, I doubt you.





Feed through me God,

Help me step out of ego and fiction; grounding myself in where I AM at this moment so you can BE through me.





Feed through me God,

So that I may remember my beliefs are what create my experience.





Feed through me God,

Let me remember that without your power, nothing exists.





Feed through me God,

So that I remember that everything is here to teach us love.





Feed through me God,

Let me remember that you are love, and you are all, and any lesser thought is not truth.





Feed through me God,

So that I may stop trying to fix another or pretend to understand their relationship with you and to just be the love that I AM always, knowing that when I am in Joy that we are close – we are one.





Feed through me God,

Let me remember that a true teacher teaches by being the teaching.





Feed through me God,

So that I may know that all the love, peace, and change that is desired is created one heart at a time.





Feed through me God,

So that I may see the world and myself and the Heaven I have never left so that I may be free to express who I AM.





Feed through me God,

So that I may remember when I live from my heart it is then that you love through me
