WITH
THOUGHTLESS AWARENESS
ew
8:32AM-7/10/20
In the first minutes of dawn,
at the edge of the dark night,
she awakes...
Inexplicable dread overtakes her...
... a dream?
...or the zeitgeist of our time...
a "virus" slipped in;
a failing, narcissistic system;
a divisive ideology,
resurrected from former shadow
minds of tribal hatred,
attempting to invade and isolate
through the power of greed and
self-interest...
against ourselves with its myopic lens,
demeaning and deriding
"other" cultures,
"other" races,
"other" religions,
"other" peoples -
while pretending
to protect its own...
boundaryless world,
polarizing unity into fragments
that shatter,
creating the current paradigm
of Ignorance,
Paranoia,
Protectionism,
Isolationism,
Narcissism,
Nationalism,
Racism,
Fear
and
Violence.
true Light,
endure the false light,
knowing that the mindless "virus"
cannot shatter the pristine Light of
a radiant Cosmos;
for it cannot be rent in two
by the darkness of ignorant minds
whose pretense and perniciousness
would even attempt to destroy
what cannot be destroyed: ...
movement of a Grand Cosmic Mystery
with its own Rhythms and Purposes
unknown
by
feeble, darkened minds
and the ineptness of
fake power.

AFTERNOON
This type of objectivity takes us beyond likes and dislikes,
and it enables us to meet others
with an open, clear mind,
without preconceived images
and with no defensive stance
wherein we use our judgment
as the standard of measurement
for everyone.
the freedom to be themselves
and find their own way,
without our mentally or silently
imposing our way on them.
and in this mutual freedom there is true relationship and communication.
we must first be secure within ourselves,
and the purpose of the unitive life
is to give this security,
give this necessary freedom.

So be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.
Matthew 10:16
Anthony de Mello
Observe the wisdom that operates in doves and in flowers and trees and the whole of Nature.
It is the same wisdom that does for us what our brain could never do:
It circulates our blood, digests our food, pumps our hearts,
expands our lungs, immunizes our bodies and heals our wounds
while our conscious minds
are engaged in other matters.
beginning to discover
in so-called primitive peoples who,
like the dove,
are so simple and wise.
with trees and earth and grass
and sky and wind
and rain and sun and flowers
and birds and animals.
How much are you exposed to Nature?
How much do you commune with her,
observe her,
contemplate her in wonder,
identify with her?
withdrawn from the elements,
it withers,
it becomes flabby and fragile
because it has been
isolated from its life force.
