With a little help from a lovely friend....
Just Sit There
Just sit there right now
Don’t do a thing
Just rest
For your separation from God
Is the hardest work in this world
Let me bring you trays of food
And something
That you like to drink
You can use my soft words
As a cushion
For your head

hafiz, what a gentle way to end a day! love you
ahhhh simply lovely…
thanks again Ben
very nice. Especially related to the 'your separation from God is the hardest work in the world' - of course we make it that way as we tend to look for it (the union with God) in all the wrong places - or maybe not 'wrong' but ineffective places. Just a thought.
thanks for sharing this more widely!
from one lovely friend to another!
l Love you too Nicole and how I feel you inside me. I trust that the most.
Thank you all! Yes Jayne! The thought we are separated is a thought and at the ground of my being I find no real thought or separation. I can't find anything that I think I am like a male, a project manager, a this or a that kind of role. I do have to settle a bit.
So Yes, I can make it about separation and coming home, and that is included and part of the day to day I experience at times. I do the I am seeking God or something greater part and I am willing to let that be so, and I want to also bring awareness to what you are saying. It all serves and I am glad to know the truth of that. So share all your thoughts with me…. please. I want that reminder. I want you to tell me. I feel that was how it was meant to be for my learning and connection.
So Hafiz comes at me with the reminder, across the span of time and space, culturally relevant to my conditioning, and the Beloved flowers through my beautiful friend Mary to say remember? And I think Thank you Beloved for it all and the reaching out to me to help me see this through my beautiful friends. Why? Because that is what actually happened. Nothing different from life as it is.
I arrive at love and connectedness through my friends, misgivings, and misperceptions. Then hand in hand we walk into what it is we know about the greatest ever surprised always by what that looks like.
I never know, truly never know, where help will come from. It is true because it has been so all my life. Sometimes, I have to laugh (at a later date) about how something grabs me by the seat of my pants and says look, know, and learn. I do sometimes with kicking and screaming, but more recently from gentle connections and reminders.
Love to you All! I am so fortunate!
Ben
