Light Load
Heavy is life, light are we navigating the true way of corporeal reality.
WHO ARE YOU?
You are one among many, an individual, a cell, a cultured body, seasoned for becoming communal. What rests upon your soul? A light load.
LIGHT.
What an interesting word, often thought of as being the opposite of heavy, but is that what lighter things are? Are they not simply lower in mass, attracting less gravity or pull, less substance or pertinence, less meaning of importance.
Only in comparative relationship does one thing seem less weighty than another but in universal terms isn’t it simply a matter of how closely particles have packed together and how many of them have assembled in one place?
What matters most is how many points of contact bare the burden of carrying the mass.
Any one individuals capacity for carrying is limited, likewise community has a greater ability to tackle the urgent needs of this world that are too weighty for a single person to bare.
After all, it is a matter of conditioning that determines who would find a certain thing heavy or light and thus we need everybody with different strengths to incorporate their abilities into carrying things that no one person could carry individually.
If you separate particles or parcels, like packets and give everyone a fair share nothing is heavy.
Or if you lift a larger load together, no single burden is a hinderance.
Only carry what you have been given to carry for only stolen goods weigh down the load.
You must unpack that which has been densely assembled as your wager on the universe, that is to say your bet that you can alter or change things to become what you believe they should be, arranging events into an intended purpose that renders a favorable result for those whose award awaits arrival.
“If only you were strong enough to carry their package to them, then they would be rewarded with gifts that grace their door.”
If you were sick that day, would not another deliver?
If you died, would not another take pride in your exercise?
How hubris to think you might be the only one!
We find that with more loosely confined elements, the density lessens, the expectations of any one entity are distributed and a complex series of events once required to achieve a goal or fulfill a vision are immediately simplified.
It is untangling the web of arduous tasks placed upon the self as demanding expectations of the devotee that lightens everything.
What we find in reality are simple systems working perfectly because their orchestration is not determined by any one being.
Thus, complexity is scaled back by layering simple mechanisms in a row.
NATURAL SYSTEMS
The tree does not grow by consciously considering the forest floor resting below. The limbs do not think of shading ferns whose shelter protects their roots, yet this perfect dance is performed with precision.
Any one individual’s burden is light because it is the load they have been given and created for carrying, unknowingly playing a crucial part that is vital to everybody.
Optimal performance requires your participation unwittingly; this is an essential point of meditation for while collaboration is a necessary contribution to the whole solution, your absence would simply perpetuate distribution of responsibilities and result in an organic replacement of your position.
Consider how important the tiny role you play really is and likewise contemplate upon how insignificant your absence would be, how readily you would be replaced with somebody willing and able to fulfill the need you are answering.
You are one among many, vital as a person and yet expendable as an asset.
Consider your personhood as distinct from your capacity to accomplish something noticeable in society and you will find relief that it is not on you to achieve glory no matter how empathic your sympathy for those that deserve your compassionate creation, their salvation rests upon a divine system whose equation would be undisturbed by your attrition.
Relax and feel the elation cascade with every palpating breath upon your skin, it is not sin to give in to who you are, to rest into your own shoes and melt into the ground beneath your feet, to abandon heady topics and imagined missions for a moment and find solace in who you are already.
How amazing that you are alive, thinking and breathing!
What a mystery beyond explaining.
IT’S NOT ABOUT YOU
Point not to how you achieve anything but to the mystery of unsolved reality that presents itself in every opportunity as a means for your joyously gestating soul, taking everything in with each gulp unable to swallow it whole.
Abandon your rank and reasoning, be not offended by removing personal responsibility and for a moment begin floating, forgetting the agency that is yours to apply, simply sit in waiting and be held by the energy that created your body and is authoring your story.
Be rid of worry.
Be happy, be restful and content even as those less penitent continue to breed irreverent deeds deserving of dissent.
You have a light burden to bare, though you may share tender care for events untold, forming a mass in your heart with intense heaviness seeming to produce gravity in your soul, centering around the suffering of the collective whole.
Consider this theme sold!
THE HERE AND NOW
Your purpose and your mission are never more present then today and limited to that immediate perspective in every way. The opportunity to cure the future is accessible to you by sincerely caring for those in your personal sphere. It is an impossible task to take on the trials and tribulations of the many, attune your focus to a precious few that are dear to you and in turn transform the norm into a place of decorum that can burn with conviction a fire of inspiration. Attend to the masses then take solace in the knowledge that they too will eventually be fed in local communities and families as intimate as those where you belong.
It is strange how even a turned back can attract a hand seeking comfort and a sleeping sailor boy can calm the sea with confidence that his father attends dependably.
It is upon the invitation of concern with immediate adversity that we respond to desperate plees.
We are not always proactively seeking out opportunities to serve or cure. Rather we maintain a stance of self stability and balanced equanimity whose peacefulness is serene, perhaps this demure attitude can feel to others as insensitive.
We may even be perceived as lacking empathy for we are undisturbed by many great things that disrupt reality.
However, our standing with gravity testifies to nature’s ability that exceeds our own capacity.
It is this center of gravity that feeds poverty, calms calamity and cures suffering. It is this confidence in nature that attends to every need and leads us into action by inviting us into the story with appropriate timing, we know that we are still learning to trust sovereignty as we trod ever so delicately and softly in this volatile territory, to breed dissent without disrupting the true purpose of discontent. We are the vessels of atonement as self appointed absolutioners.
We have come to reveal that our loyalty is to the unseen.
JUSTICE IS DUE
If anybody is to see a refuge built within society, what must be undone is a history of restitution, of revenge and a record of wrongs. The repository of debt is the dirtiest deed man is committing for he is harboring judgment in the heart breeding even more evil things than the calamity that is seen as owing.
Mercy must manifest as forgiveness in order for grace to abound with profound effect.
You can enjoy the privilege of a light load and seemingly burdenless life if you enjoy the opportunity of forgiving every indiscretion you see.
The key is to release everybody, even entire societies of judgment and reveal the solutions that have been presenting themselves so plainly. It is a familiar pain, clinging to tragedy in hopes that it brings an end to suffering.
However, it can be a foreign sense of painful ecstasy releasing anticipation expectantly without harboring any doubt that reality does already and will always proactively mend every broken thing, including those you see and those to which you are blindly contributing through your own ignorant living.
Life isn’t asking anything of you, but to be who you are already in sincere response to your most intimate community, slowly, patiently hearing and caring for those stories so personally. The resounding impact of attentive care is enough for us to share and grow and show what we have learned together to be true; while forgiving ourselves, immediately and swiftly without hesitating, for any symptoms we present that betray the truth of who we sincerely are in reality.
THE CLEANSE
It takes no great spark to set a forest ablaze but the truth alone dries the leaves with a drought in preparation for a new landscape.
The countryside must be laid bare and charcoal ridden to symbolize the end of this season that heralds in with modesty the start of a new beginning.
Directing us spiritually is spring, a land and season who knows us intimately, as we observe great suffering. It turns our attention not to tragedy nor to broken things but to expectant anticipation as to what miraculous redemption this restoration will bring, igniting a fire of imagination that brings joy into suffering, providing us with the opportunity to respond faithfully without the futility of questioning what purpose or hope such circumstances bring.
The eyes of every nation must begin tracking with destiny who is leading in mysterious majesty, directing our attention towards guiding nations home, uniting their people under true principles of power allowing for the population to experience a system of justice that reveals the face of humanity in each and every being.
IT’S ABOUT EVERYBODY
Your story, your life and your light load are enough to attract interest, to begin trending and provide traction for others to ascend from a hellacious place of ignorance into an informed state of innocence.
You, as you are, effortlessly being yourself without trying.
You can look towards reason as understanding and others will see your confidence as a testimony, not just to your capacity or ability as one human being, but the substance of faith you have been given to breathe into everything you are experiencing.
Keeping your eyes set on understanding is to find yourself observing in the face of suffering a gentle glance back as a promise of hope that can soften your gaze at even the most heinous of crimes in a time of severe adversity.
Following is supreme, guiding and directing us ever so patiently towards a perspective of honest understanding. Life is revealing an immediate reality that seems riddled with reasons to question what goodness these things could be producing and yet unraveling this pessimistic thinking is a majestic image of universal beauty that explains every single event of suffering as a stage of learning meant to teach us the virtues of existing. In a cosmos as expansive as our universe those lessons are infinite and so we must believe that everything is working together in wholeness, unifying every last piece of reality through the purification of our hearts, our minds and our bodies reminding us that our soul’s rest is found in words and thoughts and deeds that author order for everybody to participate in communal family across reality.
HOLISTIC HUMILITY
How then can you and I align with reality?
Simply by breathing.
Simply by being.
Patiently waiting in a crowded room, expecting an invitation to reach out and receive our healing touch, as we sleep soundly in a storm torn boat whose seas find calming when we spread our wings confidently.
The invitation to respond will arrive, awakening a passion of creative conviction that inspires our next direction, it happens throughout the day with each breath and every moment in between is a place of acceptance as we patiently wait; reminding us that observing with compassion is a proactive state. It is a stance that says “here am I contentedly being me, my warm energy can be seen as inviting more for those in need.”
DIGEST EACH GASPING BREATH
Are we wrestling with internal anguish of the soul?
Indeed, there are moments of insurmountable odds. Struggles that produce a cascade of emotions beyond overwhelming, but then comes the sweet reprieve of exhaling with exhilarating thrills of elation; to feel the relief of clarity whisk away confusion that would sit crouched in braided briers to steal away the promise of joyful living that is never occluded nor obscured by immediate suffering but enhanced by the memory of loves remedy. Provision is infinitely forming into a myriad of historical entries each one reminding of past circumstances that this present moment is providing the opportunity for the mind to begin recalling.
So you can continue breathing, resting at peace, joyfully secured, safely away from grief, expecting to be invited in, anticipating the glorious conclusion that awaits and until then maintaining a sense of skeptical belief that everything is as it should be and will again come under the perfecting scrutiny of redeeming energy; an ever circulating thread streaming through everybody’s story increasing and enhancing each individual’s own capacity to enjoy the privileges of living in temporary housing, conditions and climates with bodies that are still subject to injury.
It is a mystery, not an irreconcilable paradox.
It is one worth resolving.
Life has sliced the problem into units of time and explained that pain provides the space for us to appreciate our place in this story.
It is always temporary, it is always rewarding and it is always renewing our hearts by rendering a great result in the end that fosters an enduring faith and hearty hope that allows us to love more boldly, more bravely and more generously.
Expect great things in your own home.
Expect great things in your own heart.
Expect an ending to temporary suffering.
Be thankful that suffering breeds understanding.
Don’t become overwhelmed with themes that lead to misery, learn to sing as wisdoms way is forthcoming.
SEE
Let your own light reveal your bag tags, only one is marked with your name, the rest are heavy.
Yours is light.
It only seems like heavy burdens when we carry those not assigned to us.
We can incorporate the cares of others into our light burdens by assigning our attention and field of focus towards expectant vision.
Let life mediate your reality and reveal to your eyes only what you are meant to see, allowing the rest to fade away as mystery, simply background noise whose sound means nothing.
Love lightens everything and makes even heavy things easy for carrying by separating “universal themes” from present realities in the faces and places you visit regularly. Life invites levity and joyful laughing even in the midst of suffering great tragedy. Joy brings healing as glory is seen making what is filthy clean so that you can observe everything as illumined with the light this hope brings.
You will experience lightening of the load you’ve been given for carrying as you feel the excess roll away into hiding for its none of your business and not worth noticing.
Your burden is the purview of perspective that has been given to you with one directive, declaring “look towards what is true and you will find everything you need, including answers to the problems that seem paralyzing.”
Set your focus on seeing, revealing greater things that rest above, the love you need will descend, answering every need upon which you have been meditating.
PRUNING YOUR DUTIES
Delegate, delegate, delegate is the mantra of order.
Realize that reality is an assemblage of infinite resources working together for good; this plan is chaos informed, built upon a system that knows how to incorporate decay, break and fade away.
It’s fun to prune leaves and remove dead limbs from trees for composting.
Spring invites us to participate in breaking things by upsetting society with novel ways of thinking.
Turning things on their head and letting what comes naturally manifest without interfering.
You are disrupting reality simply by existing, your presence is caustic beauty.
You are a force of destruction and creation.
Don’t be afraid to touch and to play, break things in your environment and see how they grow a different way like social norms and traditional techniques including ways in we think.
You can upset these practices and still behave with respect for your cultural and communal core.
What needs reform will be reformed naturally by the gravity of weighty things that hang artificially.
It is fascinating how an unconventional community can transform reality and global thinking with lasting waves that penetrate society.
You are influencing reality!
The wakes you leave can lead to an awakening.
Never underestimate the subtle consequences of ripples unseen ripping through society, transforming everyone’s thinking simply by behaving counter culturally.
PLAYING TOGETHER
You may laugh at the part you play by letting your presence make silly impressions that lead to a new face for referencing beauty today.
I hope for you to enjoy life in a new and refreshing way this spring, may it bring you the courage to invest yourself in those whom you trust whole heartedly by seeing that to them has been delegated similar interests, concerns and cares that together produce a shared place for understanding everyone’s unique journey.
Perhaps many of those whom you already know are not weighed down by suffering but inspired by hope they’ve seen in redemption’s story.
Ask about narratives others would love to share as a testimony to the success of healing.
Allow hopefulness to clarify how the earth is already working and why you’ve been assigned such an easy story, because everyone else is participating equally.
Look to see where scandalous action serendipitously favors the law of attraction.
Notice matter using corrupt plots for a correct cause.
Like a hurricane evacuating an island that is sinking.
SHARE THE LOAD
Community has given you a home where you don’t need to achieve things on your own.
Your assemblage of friends and family are accomplishing things you cannot see, all reflecting similarly your desire for healing that mends your country and local communities. No matter how well we perform this mission is achieved perfectly by journeying together in harmony because everyone shares a common story, regardless of heritage, history or ancestry.
The only things assigned to you are meaningful activities that utilize the capacities you have fostered for thriving as they are playful and they are fun, their purpose cannot be undone.
Let your heart rise from it’s sunken position.
If you are simply enjoying what you are doing that alone sets ablaze a forest in your own heart that is contagious to those around you; enjoy the joy of fun!
ZEAL
May your zest for life and passion for learning inspire everyone to receive conviction that is burning!
Remind yourself that the rest is up to everyone else for we are all being directed by our own story that is orchestrating a part within the mosaic of society in its entirety, coordinating an eventual reality that is ever more perfected by investing personally.
If we are sincere, acting in innocence, conscience made clear then there is no fear for we are enough even when it gets tough.
No need to choke.
Yearn to endure seas that are rough by turning back towards the hand that clasps your healing cloak.
