Supporting Non-Duality and Awakening in Asheville and Beyond

UNDERNEATH THE PARADOX OF ONENESS

Version 2.0 | 8/29/2010

Feeling our place and claiming our right to be at-ease,

being exposed and exposing ourselves to the forces

and ever-changing forms cycling through the

rhythms of birth, life and death.

Remembering and continually rekindling a center in self

AND opening self to the vulnerability,

the porous and permeable connections to life's many forms.

Remaining present while in the deep gravity well of others

not centered in self.

Holding the space for not having or needing to fix anything.

Allowing and encouraging surrendering and shedding of the protective armors

built around self.

Being a bright, reflective listener and mirror,

being one who encourages the recognition and awakening to truth.

Facilitating others to feel heard and seen,

facilitating others to learn to contain their aggressive tendencies

AND

their shyness and reluctance to back away, collapse and retreat into hiding.

When I feel a need to say "be quiet",

let me share the intent of requesting space for serenity.

Let my energies of request not morph into demand,

nor allow me to shrink or hide in the cold cess pool of resentment.

This continuous balancing act of honoring self and Self,

what a dynamic opportunity to become fully alive

and feel our interconnectedness with all living things.
