Wholeness

Deep inside me is the part of me that is more powerful than any other part of me.

It is my cosmic code, an infinite umbilical connecting me to all that is.

It is me and not me and when I can hear it sing the world is filled with miracles.

When I cannot hear it I try all the things the world has taught me: pray, meditate, sing, cry, threaten, work harder, even give up. Those are worldly things. They pile up and build walls, making me think they are the way.

Doing -- anything -- is the illusion that gives me false hope. Not doing -- on purpose -- is the other illusion.

The singing is no more mine than a radio is singing Pavarotti's Nessun Dorma.

And yet, like the radio, without me this song will never be heard.
