The Gift

Last night
I put a package at the foot of your bed for you to find when you awaken in the morning. Go ahead and open it – it is especially for you! I imagine you will open it slowly, untying the ribbon, and then delicately peeling back the white tissue paper. The protective foggy airspace will emerge, gently rising, releasing the treasures inside. When this fog dissipates, open the package further, and let the azure blue sky appear, with its faint whisper white clouds. Underneath, you will find the blossoms – pinks and oh-so-whites, yellows and lavenders. The fragrance! The song of the birds! Beneath the blossoms you will find the sparkles on the water, and the greenest greens you have ever seen. Be sure to notice all the treasures, as well as the warmth and the softness of the breezes. Do you hear the laughter of the children? The form and the formless are in this small package for you, each to delight you and sing to you and feed your soul.

Good morning, Beloved.

This gift is left every morning... and our lover's kiss us on the cheek... it is the open secret of everything. Drinking it in, I am refreshed and not seperate at all.
