"What
brings tears to your eyes - II"
"Love Is Flowing Eternally"
Those who "make love the key" know
the joy of love. Those who "make love the key" also know
the sorrow of love. These two are companions. They are sides of the
same coin. Each is welcomed. Each is a teacher of the process of
allowing. Each asks you to be present to the eternal moment of love.
This experience is not in the next world. It is in the world of this
eternal moment.
Many of us weep for what we see as a world of
sorrow. To few of us are weeping for this world of joy and beauty.
This is, I think, in part due to the fact that we refuse to ask
difficult questions. We avoid our individual quest in this
"love flowing into eternity" experience. We allow others
to ride into the forest of unknowing.
We wait for them to return with answers.
Their certainty convinces us we need not quest on our own behalf. We
accept their answer as our own. We thus avoid our journey into our
own forest of unknowing. We do not do as my beloved poet Rumi
suggests. He says, "Do not care what others think." He
advises, "risk all for love."
We do not make the quest for love our key
priority. We hold other keys. We hold tight any key that promises us
security. We hold tight the key that promises security in
relationship. We hold tight the key of financial security. Whatever
security we can get we cling to like a drowning man.
We are rarely if ever taught the The Wisdom of Insecurity
This would prove disastrous to our present way of
viewing the world of economics. We are not taught the wisdom of
allowing our lives to flow moment to moment.
This is why the poet asks us to "think
of things that disappear." Everything disappears. We fail to
embrace the wisdom that "all things shall pass." We feel
anxious at having to consider this question. It is the question we
avoid most of our lives. Our culture trains us to avoid it. Our
lives then become an experience of avoidance rather than an
embracing of "what is."
The poet asks you to think about the question
"think of what disappears?" She knows the answer. She is a
wise woman. She knows the ultimate security is in disappearing. She
knows the ultimate security is in allowing yourself to be nobody
special. This is the role of poetry. It is there to help you
remember. It is there to help you see into the beauty of your
"love flowing eternally." It is radical. It asks you to
quest. It therefore asks you difficult questions.
The wave disappears into the ocean. The
raindrop disappears into the ever-flowing river of life. It comes it
goes. Your body is a river of energy. It is replaced every seven
years in total. Everyday there is a part of you that dies to become
renewed. This is the cycle of life. It is not fixed. It is love
flowing eternally. We think of ourselves as a noun rather than
a verb. We live as things rather than as being.
You have never had a beginning and you will
never end. You are beyond time and you are beyond space. You are
forever becoming. You have a choice. This is to cycle at higher and
higher levels of conscious unconditional loving. This takes
tremendous courage and means you cannot belong to our social
conditioning. It means you become one of those who surrender to
uncertainty and unknowing.
The best you do is this. Be courageous. Love
unconditionally. You know this beyond all the entrapments you tie
yourself to daily. What brings tears to your eyes? I think for most
of us it is our connection or separation from the experience of
unconditional love.
You are a being of unconditional love. You
are made in Gods image and God is Love. God is unconditional Love.
This means the essence of who you are is "unconditional
love." You are never "not unconditional love." You
never have been "not unconditional love." You never will
not be "not unconditional love." You have only forgotten
that you are a "forever being of unconditional love."
When you disappear you will know. You will
know that you are love eternal. There is no need for you to "be
saved." This is like telling a wave it does not belong to the
ocean. There is nothing you have to do. You only have to be. You
cannot save something unless you are separate from it. You never
have been and you never will be separate from that which has no
beginning and no end. You are love flowing eternally.
So think about "things that
disappear." Invite your own disappearance. When you are graced
with this experience of disappearance you make God available to you.
God is a dance waiting for you to recognize you a being of love.
When this recognition happens God pours unconditional love into this
empty space of allowing.
God is forever waiting. God is not violent.
God is the ultimate in allowing. When you allow yourself to be then
being happens. You will know you are blessed. You will know
"what brings tears to your eyes." You have entered into
joy. You enjoy love flowing eternally.
This is only how it is now and forever. Poets
know this when they are allowing enough. The river flows and the
grass grows by itself. Just disappear. Just be in this forever
becoming joy filled moment. Tears will flow. Sometimes joy and
sometimes sorrow. Each is welcome. Neither is judged. Each is only
what it is. Neither is a problem to be asked "why."
When you learn the knack of allowing you will
walk the middle way. This is the way of compassion. What more is
there to desire? All else is compensation for a life that refuses to
ask the question "what brings tears to your eyes?"
