Are You Looking for It?
It is a space outside of space.
It is a time outside of time.
And it isn't an "it."
It is evoked not by force or power,
but through gentle invitation and subtle vigilance.
It is available to us in any moment, in every moment,
only waiting for our awareness to blossom.
It is not of this world,
yet gives infinite glory and meaning to everything in this world.
It lives in silence
and can only be heard from silence.
Can you feel it? Can you sense it?
It is the glorious silence beyond silence
from which the world bubbles forth
moment after moment after moment.
Could it be that each moment of your world
flows instantly from the silence of nothing,
now and now and now and now,
neither coming from your past,
nor going into your future?
In each moment lives the possibility of discovering
the exquisite essence and rapture of transcendence,
where only the unspeakable beauty of life
permeates every cell of your being and awareness.
Are you ready for it?
Are you looking for it?
Will you invite it in?
Now and now and now and now?
It is only waiting for you to wake up!
?
When we live in awareness, it is easy to see miracles everywhere.
- Thich Nhat Hanh
