​What If? 
 
What if
I could think without manipulating my thoughts
and just let them tell me why they have come to me?
 
What if
I could let my feelings express themselves freely
             without trying to attach them to something else?
 
What if
my wishes were not embedded in the future
but kept me focused on what’s happening right now?
 
What if
I could listen as I imagine a poet
listens to the sounds of nature surrounding her?
 
What if
I could see things as I imagine an artist
looks at something that has captured his attention?
 
What if
I could touch things as I imagine someone does
who isn’t afraid of belonging everywhere?
 

​Being at home is being in a place of belonging,
a place that wouldn’t be what it is without our presence.
And there are no places in the universe we can be
and not have some kind of an impact just by being there.
 
 
Being at home means that we are part of a family,
that we share the way we came into this world with others.
And there is nothing in the universe that does not share
the creative spark of life from which everything has come.
 
 
We are always at home because we are always somewhere
that is part of the evolving flow of creative life.

Be a part of where you are right now
​and you are at home.

​Nothing Interferes
 
What would it be like to think
that nothing we may experience
can interfere with our daily lives?
 
What would it be like to live
in the belief that by accepting
whatever comes to us each day
we are participating
in the natural, ongoing flow
of our world’s creativity?
 
*
 
“It” —whatever it may be--
does not interfere with daily life.
Rather, it delineates it:
it gives it a shape with which
to help create a reality
that brings us closer to the truth
of our participation
in the universal unfolding
of a life that belongs to all.
 
*
 
Every “it” we meet in life
is like a doorway into the truth
of our innate togetherness.
