There is a grace approaching
that we shun as much as death,
it is the completion of our birth.
It does not come in time,
but in timelessness
when the mind sinks into the heart
and we remember.
It is an insistent grace
that draws us to the edge
and beckons us surrender
safe territory and enter our enormity.
We know we must pass
beyond knowing and fear the shedding.
But we are pulled upward none-the-less
through forgotten ghosts and unexpected angels, luminous.
And there is nothing left to say
but we are That.
And that is what we sing about.

SEQUESTERED BEYOND CAUSE & EFFECT,
PREFERENCES & LABELS
HUMANS ARE THE ONLY LIFE FORCE TO NAME THIS CONDITION
NAMING/LABELING IT ACCORDING TO HIS/HER OWN CONDITION
UNTIL IT COMES UPON THEM
& THEN
ONLY THE GREAT NOTHING REMAINS
THE VOICE FROM BEYOND THE SILENCE
THE UNKNOWING

accepting that our limited perspectives cannot do justice to the all,
our false way of seeing would cease to shudder through us,
and in the movement of that purity
all our solemn angst would unavoidably turn to awe.

but now we must gorge ourselves upon the Tree of Unknowledge.
After all,
"...this surpassing non-understanding,
is 'un-undestandably' above every affirmation and denial",
as claimed by the anonymous author of The Cloud of Unknowing.
This is the way home.
