The Eternal Feeler & Observer I am so grateful at how I have changed No longer riding the highs too high nor the lows too low Feeling everything Welcoming It All Open arms Open heart And also calmly unattached Like watching clouds roll by on a sunny day Instead of being strapped in to the roller coaster; Just watching It This does not mean unfeeling This is not some cool nonchalant detachment It means Feeling: the warmth the cold the breeze the rain whatever life brings Experiencing It Letting It in Then letting It pass When It is ready Like standing on the shore Feeling the cool ocean water on your feet Then letting it recede One moment Flowing to the next Inhale Exhale Expansion Contraction Night Day A cardinal landing on a tree Then flying off Perceiving stimuli - whatever pierces the veil to the brilliant focus of your consciousness Feeling It fully Experiencing It Then letting It go A wave Moving through you And then gone Set free - of course, it was always free - And never really belonged to you - It was just moving through you Life Moving through you Let it flow Never cling Welcome It coming Welcome It going with serenity with gratitude with reverence with Love Life is good Life is kind Life is generous
