What You Are

My heart may be open with love and embrace
My arms may be moving in time and space
The energy around me, rich with movement and promise
Shaping, shifting, moulding, weaving, expressing itself

My mind may be flavoured with pleasures and woes
Constantly moving, to travel and go
And through all this I sense and know
That this is what I am, isn’t it?

This feeling is me
This thought is me
This action is me
This mood is me, isn’t it?

My child, all of these things are of your nature
Singing Karmas’ song
Experiences that come, actions that come, constantly bubbling along
But I tell you this; to these things you do not in truth belong

Enjoy them now, be part of their play
For that is the will of the Lord
But I tell you this, in time you will come
To know the essence of this embrace

It is the core of you
It is what you are
It is the fullness of love and grace
Be that
