this is a love story

Within.

Not a place to go,

but what was never left.

Not depth beneath the surface,

but the surface knowing itself as depth.

Not a single being has ever fallen

out of the deep meditation of the universe.

—Ancestor Ma qtd. in Sutherland

What is under?

God said, “I am made whole by your life.

Each soul, each soul completes me.” —Hafiz

We are, as everything is,

always and without condition

the highest deepest Truth.

And still, it matters that we choose kindness,

that we choose awareness, presence, participation…

तत् त्वम् असि

—Chandogya Upanishad 6.8.7
