Contentment

This magic moment is enough.
This experience of living,
this sitting here breathing
in the flowing elements

The fire of the sun illuminating
the water of the sea rippling
the earth of the sand 
standing still beneath me
the air of the wind breezing through
the open windows of my soul.

I am fully content to watch their play
connected to the eternal silence
at the center of being
through this tapestry of love

And although the path before me is
strewn with broken glass and rusting nails,
broken hearts and desperate wails,
I embrace it wholeheartedly,
the suffering and the bliss.

For they are One.

I am not this name I've been given.
I am not this name.
This is simply what I am called.
I am so much more simple than that.

I am a dimensional being
spanning heaven and earth
spinning bridges of living imagination
from eternity to creation and back again.

This magic moment is enough.
It contains the possibility of creative expression
my true love embraces me,
listen, listen, the heart's well is overflowing...
