Today in contemplation
Hanging with Hafiz
Stop looking past your neighbor. Practice loving-kindness. End separation. Stand as the mother tree in the young forest. Let your roots run deep in the ground of goodness. Nourish all within your reach. Stand strong. Do not give in to worldly ways. This good advice is difficult to follow, even for the most ardent. It is a rare person who never falters. Take comfort in knowing that you, like the mother tree, are consciousness in existence. You are whole, complete, perfect, eternal. Do not deny your reality. Submit to your true nature. Remember always that you are I AM. You are consciousness in existence. You are the whole of the all. See your love everywhere. It is not limited by form. Love does not need to be rationed. Fear is your only limitation. Fear alone deprives you of freedom. It is an unwelcome intruder. Do not be its host. Remember that you are I AM. To remember is to know joy. Joy is without fear. Joy cradles love unendingly. Joy brings love to the world without conditions or loss. It has no image of this and that. Joy does not separate. Joy does not ration. Joy is whole, complete, perfect, eternal. You are joy. You are I AM. There is no other.
