Bliss

Life: The Movie January 16, 2010


Pictures move before our eyes,

Dwarfing us –

Monster magnets drawing us

Into Intensity, adventure,

Thrilling heartsongs of all modes and keys.

We step into the picture,

Two dimensions turning multiple.

We are the actors and the story;

Our hearts and minds enlarge

With passion and with joy

Till we unite with all that is,

Dissolve in bliss --

Become pure ecstasy

And love.

Reflections:

Although we live in our own movie, we do not control how the plot develops. Our story lives us. We move forward in time, like a ribbon of polymer imprinted with pictures. Every moment contains surprises -- pains, fears, and delights. Each moment presents us with gifts of learning and growing to unwrap and savor – new insights, new dimensions, new awareness of what it means to be a “spiritual being having a human experience” -- new ways in which body and soul together teach us about God and love. Each moment brings us closer to the movie’s end – our return to life in spirit – when we leave the earth theatre. May we, at that point, leave our bodies as tools that have served us well in growing as souls – growing in awareness, kindness, and the knowledge of true happiness, as we help each other become the best we are capable of being.
