“why do i write books about the wordless essence of life? why do i try to say the unsayable?
perhaps why is the wrong question. it seems the deeper the inner silence, the more naturally and effortlessly the words flow, finally liberated from their shackles, set free from the prison of conformity and correctness and the need to be liked or even heard. out of perfect stillness, this delicious music erupts, these creative and playful notes of myself, vibrant expressions of that preverbal silence at the core of everything, inviting you intimacy with your present moment, here and now. my words are your words are the words of life itself, ever offering themselves in remembrance of that which is never gone, and endlessly shining.
i do not write or speak by myself, for myself, nor am i myself written or spoken, i can only remain radically open to the unexpected eruption of words. i am a house, ready for the children who call me Home to come running back from school, their cheeks rosy and stuffed with chocolate and expectation, and ready to let them go, as they finally leave for destinations and adventures unknown.”
~ Jeff Foster, Falling In Love With Where You Are
moments like these, reading the words written by another and feeling as if they are my own, are the moments that i can truly be reminded of and held in the truth that is oneness of all. and it’s not a rare occurrence as of late. the more i open to the present moment and all it has to offer, the more i say yes to here and now without resistance, the easier it is to let go of seeking and that which i may seek reveals itself. the more i trust that my present experience, be it painful or joyful or anything else, is the experience i am meant to have and fully embrace, the more experiences i find to satisfy my deepest desires. this doesn’t mean i lay in bed all day waiting for the right experience to come to me. it means i get out of bed everyday and go about taking steps towards my goals trusting that even if i am tired, irritable, clumsy, mistaken, hurting, indecisive, or anything else, even if it feels like i am being met with dead end after dead end, i am in the right place. i am learning, growing, healing, completing, and i am learned, grown, healed and complete.
may we all be inspired. may we all be liberated through radical acceptance of that which has made us feel imprisoned.
