stillness moves & silence sounds & calm excites

the contemplative being fully human

Page 4


why does excitation quickly dissolve?
simply for it has no place to stick anymore ~
it moves through freely, enjoyed for what it is,
and is not clung to, for there is no felt-need to prolong it

this is comparable to the joy of orgasm;
when over, lovers can relax in the after-glow, grateful

so, one living with-Grace, enjoys the experiences of life
as expressions of One Life, One Being, One Truth

yet, he or she will feel most at-home in the natural state
for that has become, so to speak, Home

again, referring to the boisterous ocean,
on the surface changes move with varying degrees of intensity

yet, the ocean depths is calm,
calm is its underlying, basic nature, so to speak

without the depths of calm in the ocean
there would not be the jubilation on the surface ~
the excitation is grounded in the calm, not the opposite

we are welcomed to live in-Grace in full humanness,
enjoying this world and its surface graces

and, ironically, we find we enjoy them more
when these arise from our natural being in-Grace

stillness
silence
calm

the calm remains
