Here I sit… in quiet contemplation. Something truly profound has happened to me; I know not what! No matter how much I want to or try to understand or explain this ‘thing’; I cannot. This ‘thing’, whatever it is, has over the last couple of months, grown from within me and has now spread out… enveloping me in its’ warm glow. It has given me a gift so rare, delicate and beautiful. I cannot say for sure, what this ‘thing’ is because it is so great… it can never be understood or explained to the degree in which it should. It can only be felt! Here I sit… in quiet contemplation. In awe. Breathing slowly, deeply… in and out, out and in. Listening to this silence that surrounds me with waves of peaceful tranquillity washing over me; embracing and comforting me. Waves which gently rock me; lulling me into a kind of rest the likes of which I have never known. I feel as though I have been lifted up high and now float. I am awake living a dream. I feel the way I do when I dream of flying. I feel as if I’m drifting away as a feather would on a cool, gentle summer breeze. Here I sit, feeling something unknown and indescribable take a hold of me. Feeling nothing and everything all in the same moment. Feeling comfortably numb. Relishing it. Revelling in this quiet, restful silence. This sense of complete and utter peace. Tranquil harmony. Time passes by ever so slowly, it feels as if it stands still; waiting, waiting for something and too for nothing. Time doesn’t matter. It is not important. It passes by without me even knowing it. It is hours, since first, I started writing this. Maybe it has been weeks, months, maybe even years? I do not know… nor do I care. I am content with the ‘here and now’… living in this one little moment in time. I cannot call this thing ‘love’ because it is something far greater; above and beyond that. Love is such a puny, inadequate word to use when trying to describe this feeling. I do not know why I am sitting here… writing this? It makes no sense to me and yet all in the same breath, I say it does. How can this be? How can I feel this? What is it, this ‘thing’ that has taken such a firm, warm grasp of me? Why now? Why do I sit here… in quiet contemplation, writing these things… filling this space with these somewhat nonsensical thoughts? Why do I ask questions, for which, I need no answers? It does not matter because I sit here… with this peaceful quiet enfolding and gently rocking me. For the first time in my life I feel no anger, resentment, disappointment, rejection, hurt or pain… I am ‘empty’ of all those things. I feel only this ‘thing’. It is liberating! Here I sit, alone, in this semi-conscience state, with the words of the songs I listen to running through my head, not really hearing them. I sit here crying. Shedding tears of neither joy nor of pain. Shedding tears, for reasons I can’t explain. I will never stop; not because I can’t but because I don’t want to! I feel so ‘full’, so ‘alive’. Maybe this is why I cry? I cry because I feel something I have only ever imagined. Something far greater than I could have ever imagined has, after all this time has passed, filled ‘my vase’ till it spilleth over in a never-ending stream! For the first time in my life … I feel I am whole. I am free. I need not continue searching because I have found all I have ever been looking for… I have found me! This feeling is one that I want to stay with me for all eternity! I was rushing, when you rushed in. / You made me stop for just a second; / Take a deep breath in. / You made me look about me, / And too… within. / You helped open my eyes, / You made me see me, / In all my glorious, rare, somewhat ‘cracked’ beauty! / You made me see all I can be! / I sit here, feeling, crying unashamedly. / Because of you and this beautiful gift you have given me. I sit here… Breathing slowly, deeply… in and out, out and in. Living in this moment of tranquil harmony. Comfortably numb. At Peace. Finally free.
LIES PERCEPTIONS AND BELIEFS *BY RL HALL AND LINAJI...
LIES PERCEPTIONS AND BELIEFS BY RL HALL AND LINAJI A collaboration of loving work between rlhall & linaji – Webs & Layers Your Spiritual side is wise, intuitive, creative, loving, compassionate, peaceful, forgiving, always aspiring to truth and goodness – or – your life is lived in confusion, anger, and perhaps, even, layers of lies and deceit.” ~ Dr. John Sarno, The Divided Mind “If you cannot find the truth right where you are, where else do you expect to find it?” / ~ Dogen “It is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye.” ~ Antoine Saint-Exupéry “If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite.” ~ William Blake _“Believe that your life is worth living, and your belief will create the fact.” ~ William James Acceptance ~ Robert Frost When the spent sun throws up its rays on cloud / And goes down burning into the gulf below, / No voice in nature is heard to cry aloud / At what has happened. Birds, at least must know / It is the change to darkness in the sky. / Murmuring something quiet in her breast, / One bird begins to close a faded eye; / Or overtaken too far from his nest, / Hurrying low above the grove, some waif / Swoops just in time to his remembered tree. / At most he thinks or twitters softly, ‘Safe! / Now let the night be dark for all of me. / Let the night be too dark for me to see / Into the future. Let what will be, be.’_ _Layers of Beliefs I have unfurled my wisdom / And before me / I only know / Truths / That have been born and branded / By my hand / How can it be any other way? I have heard and have been told / Of / About / Yours… / But My core is the listener / The one who knew before the knowing / Or of the Telling We are parted now.. / maybe for 4 years or 10 / Maybe it is not again But the knowing you / Was like a root plant / Better left in the shade of its’ own calling Than to open to the sun of my smile / Or yours. Past Lives are just that, / Past.. The Now that pulsates and thrives Has been dropped from view.. It is no longer about you Time for a new lesson Time for a new view._ Thank You Everyone, espically RL Hall for linking into my heart and for setting up most of this show.. her finding the amazing quotes from our favorite poets and leaders made the core of our work shine!! What a pleasure this collaboration was between us!
