light load

Heavy is life, light are we navigating the true way of corporeal reality.

Light is an interesting word, often thought of as being the opposite of heavy, but is that what lighter things are? Are they not simply lower in mass, attracting less gravity or pull, less substance or pertinence, less meaning of importance. 

Only in comparative relationship does one thing seem less weighty than another but in universal terms isn’t it simply a matter of how closely particles have packed together and how many of them have assembled in one place?

What matters most is how many points of contact bare the burden of carrying the mass.

Any one individuals capacity for carrying is limited, likewise community has a greater ability to tackle the urgent needs of this world that are too weighty for a single person to bare.

After all, it is a matter of conditioning that determines who would find a certain thing heavy or light and thus we need everybody with different strengths to incorporate their abilities into carrying things that no one person could carry individually. 

If you separate particles or parcels, like packets and give everyone a fair share nothing is heavy.

Or if you lift a larger load together, no single burden is a hinderance.

Only carry what you have been given to carry for only stolen goods weigh down the load. 

You must unpack that which has been densely assembled as your wager on the universe, that is to say your bet that you can alter or change things to become what you believe they should be, arranging events into an intended purpose that renders a favorable result for those whose blessings you await to see fulfillment.

“If only you were strong enough to carry their package to them, then they would be rewarded with gifts that grace their door.”

If you were sick that day, would not another deliver it!

If you died, would not another take pride in your exercise?

How hubris to think you might be the only one!

We find that with more loosely confined elements, the density lessens, the expectations of any one entity are distributed and a complex series of events once required to achieve a goal or fulfill a vision are immediately simplified.

It is untangling the web of arduous tasks placed upon the self as demanding expectations of the devotee that lightens everything.

What we find in reality are simple systems working perfectly because their orchestration is not determined by any one being.

Thus, complexity is scaled back by layering simple mechanisms in a row. 

The tree does not grow by consciously considering the forest floor resting below its limbs nor do the ferns think of shading the roots that are prone to evaporating nutrients essential to extending the long branches that shelter the shrubs from sweltering heat and yet this perfect dance is performed with precision effortlessly. 

Any one individual beings burden is light because it is the load they have been given and created for carrying, unknowingly playing a crucial part that is vital to everybody.

Optimal performance requires your unwitting participation; this is an essential point of meditation for while collaboration is a necessary contribution to the whole solution, your absence would simply perpetuate distribution of responsibilities and result in an organic replacement of your position. 

Consider how important the tiny role you play really is and likewise contemplate upon how insignificant your absence would be, how readily you would be replaced with somebody willing and able to fulfill the need you are answering. 

You are one among many, vital as a person and yet expendable as an asset.

Consider your personhood as distinct from your capacity to accomplish something noticeable in society and you will find relief that it is not on you to achieve glory no matter how empathic your sympathy for those that deserve your compassionate creation, their salvation rests upon a divine system whose equation would be undisturbed by your attrition.

Relax and feel the elation cascade with every palpating breath upon your skin, it is not sin to give in to who you are, to rest into your own shoes and melt into the ground beneath your feet, to abandon heady topics and imagined missions for a moment and find solace in who you are already. 

How amazing that you are alive, thinking and breathing!

What a mystery beyond explaining.

Point not to how you achieve anything but to the mystery of unsolved reality that presents itself in every opportunity as a means for your joyously gestating soul, taking everything in with each gulp unable to swallow it whole.

Abandon your rank and reasoning, be not offended by removing personal responsibility and for a moment begin floating, forgetting the agency that is yours to apply, simply sit in waiting and be held by the energy that created your body and is authoring your story.

Be rid of worry.

Be happy, be restful and content even as those less penitent continue to breed irreverent deeds deserving of decent. 

You have a light burden to bare, though you may share in observing a series of events around you everyday that add up, creating so much mass in your heart that a sense of heaviness seems to have made its own center of gravity in your soul; perhaps centering around the themes of suffering you’ve seen.

Your purpose and your mission are never more present then today and limited to that immediate perspective, every opportunity to cure the future is accessible to you by sincerely caring for those in your personal sphere. It is an impossible task to take on the trials and tribulations of the many, attune your focus to a precious few that are dear to you and in turn transform the norm in a place of decorum that can burn with conviction a fire of inspiration. Attending briefly to the masses, taking solace in the knowledge that they too will eventually be fed in local communities and families as intimate as those near you.

It is strange how even a turned back can attract a hand seeking comfort and a sleeping sailor can calm the sea with confidence that nature answers every need.

It is upon the invitation of concern with immediate adversity that we can respond to desperate plees.

We are not always proactively seeking out opportunities to serve or cure. Rather we maintain a stance of self stability and balanced equanimity whose peacefulness is serene, perhaps this demure attitude can feel to others akin to disinterest

We may even be perceived as lacking empathy for we are undisturbed by many great things that disrupt reality.

It is this center of gravity that feeds poverty, calms calamity and cures suffering. It is this confidence in nature that attends to every need and leads us into action by inviting us into the story with appropriate timing, we know that we are still learning to trust sovereignty as we trod ever so delicately and softly in this volatile territory to breed dissent without disrupting the true purpose of discontent. We are the vessels of atonement as self appointed absolutioners. 

We have come to reveal that our loyalty is to the unseen. 

If anybody is to see a refuge built within society, what must be undone is a history of restitution, of revenge and a record of wrongs. The repository of debt is the dirtiest deed man is committing for he is harboring judgment in the heart breeding even more evil things than the calamity that is seen as owing. 

Mercy must manifest as forgiveness in order for grace to abound with profound effect. 

You can enjoy the privilege of a light load and seemingly burdenless life if you enjoy the opportunity of forgiving every indiscretion you see. It is key to release everybody, even entire societies of judgment and reveal the solutions that have been presenting themselves so plainly. It is a familiar pain, clinging to tragedy in hopes that it brings an end to suffering. 

However, it can be a foreign sense of painful ecstasy releasing anticipation expectantly without harboring any doubt that reality does already and will always proactively mend every broken thing, including those you see and those to which you are blindly reproducing through your own ignorant living.

Life isn’t asking anything of you, but to be who you are already being in sincere response to your most intimate community, slowly and patiently hearing and caring for those stories so personally that the resounding impact of attentive care is enough for us to share and grow and show what we have learned together to be true.

While forgiving ourselves, immediately and swiftly without hesitating, for any insincerity we present that betrays the truth of who we are in reality. 

It takes no great spark to set a forest ablaze but the truth alone dries the leaves with a drought in preparation for a new landscape. 

The countryside must be laid bare and charcoal ridden to symbolize the end of this season that heralds in with modesty the start of a new beginning. 

Directing us spiritually is spring, a land and season who knows us intimately, as we observe great suffering. It turns our attention not to tragedy nor to broken things but to expectant anticipation as to what miraculous redemption this restoration will bring, igniting a fire of imagination that brings joy into suffering, providing us with the opportunity to respond faithfully without the futility of questioning what purpose or hope such circumstances bring.

The eyes of every nation must begin tracking with destiny who is leading in mysterious majesty, directing our attention towards guiding nations home, uniting their people under true principles of power allowing for the population to experience justice that can see the face of humanity in everybody.

Your story, your life and your light load are enough to attract interest, to begin trending and provide traction for others to ascend from a hellacious place of ignorance into an informed state of innocence. 

You, as you are, effortlessly being yourself without trying. 

You can look towards light as you look out and others will see your confidence as a testimony, not just to your capacity or ability as one human being, but the substance of faith you have been given to breathe into everything you are experiencing. 

Keeping your eyes set on understanding is to find yourself observing in the face of suffering a gentle glance back as a promise of hope that can soften your gaze at even the most heinous of crimes in a time of adversity that might seem to ever increase in it’s severity.

We are supreme, guiding and directing ourselves ever so patiently towards a perspective of honest understanding. Life is revealing an immediate reality that seems riddled with reasons to question what goodness these things could be producing and yet unraveling this pessimistic thinking is a majestic image of universal beauty that explains every minute event of suffering as a stage of learning meant to teach us the virtues of existing. In a cosmos as expansive as our universe those lessons are infinite and so we believe that everything works together to bring wholeness, order and unity to every last piece of reality through the purification of our hearts, our minds and our bodies reminding us that our souls rest is found in words and thoughts and deeds that purity alone is authoring.

How then can you and I align with reality?

Simply by breathing.

Simply by being.

Patiently waiting in a crowded room, expecting an invitation to reach out and receive our healing touch, as we sleep soundly in a storm torn boat whose seas find calming when we spread our wings confidently. 

The invitation to respond will arrive, awakening a passion of creative conviction that inspires our next direction, it happens throughout the day with each breath and every moment in between is a place of acceptance as we patiently wait; reminding us that observing with compassion is a proactive state. It is a stance that says “here am I, use me.”

Can it breed anguish internally?

Indeed! At moments we are grasping and digesting an inexhaustible amount of events around us that produce a cascade of emotions that can be overwhelming, but then comes the sweet reprieve of exhaling with such exhilaration that is thrilling; to feel the relief of clarity whisk away confusion that would sit crouched in braided briers to steal away the promise of joyful living that is never occluded nor obscured by immediate suffering but enhanced by the memory of loves remedy. Provision is infinitely forming into a myriad of historical entries manifesting as past circumstances that this present moment is providing the opportunity for the mind to begin recalling and so you can continue breathing and being at peace, joyfully secured, safely away from grief, expecting to be invited in, anticipating the glorious conclusion that awaits and until then maintaining a sense of skeptical belief that everything is as it should be and will again come under the perfecting scrutiny of redeeming energy an ever circulating thread streaming through everybody’s story increasing and enhancing each individual’s own capacity to enjoy the privileges of living in temporary housing, conditions and climates with bodies that are still subject to injury.

It is a mystery but not an irreconcilable paradox unworthy of resolving.

Life has sliced the problem into units of time and explained that pain provides the space for us to appreciate our place in this story.

It is always temporary, it is always rewarding and it is always renewing our hearts by rendering a great result in the end that fosters an enduring faith and hearty hope that allows us to love more boldly, more bravely and more generously.

Expect great things in your own home.

Expect great things in your own heart.

Let your own light reveal your bag tags, only one is marked with your name, the rest are heavy. 

Yours is light.

It only seems like heavy burdens when we carry those not assigned to us.

We can incorporate the cares of others into our light burdens by assigning our attention and field of focus toward expectant vision. 

Let life mediate your reality and reveal to your eyes only what you are meant to see, allowing the rest to fade away as mystery, simply background noise whose sound means nothing.

Love lightens everything and makes even heavy things easy for carrying by separating “universal themes” from present realities in the faces and places you visit regularly. Life invites levity and joyful laughing even in the midst of suffering great tragedy. Joy brings healing as glory is seen making what is filthy clean so that you can observe everything as illumined with the light this hope brings. 

You will experience lightening of the load you’ve been given for carrying as you feel the excess roll away into hiding for its none of your business and not worth noticing. 

Your burden is the purview of perspective that has been given to you with one directive, declaring “look towards what is true and you will find everything you need, including answers to the problems that seem paralyzing.”

Set your focus on seeing, revealing greater things that rest above and the love you need will descend and answer every need upon which you have been meditating. 

Delegate, delegate, delegate is the mantra of order.

Realize that reality is an assemblage of infinite resources working together for good; this plan is chaos informed, built upon a system that knows how to incorporate decay, break and fade away.

It’s fun to prune leaves and remove dead limbs from trees.

Spring invites us to participate in breaking things by upsetting society with novel ways of thinking.

Turning things on their head and letting what comes naturally manifest without interfering.

You are disrupting reality simply by existing, your presence is caustic beauty.

You are a force of destruction and creation.

Don’t be afraid to touch and to play, break things in your environment and see how they grow a different way... social norms and techniques including ways in which we think need reform.

You can upset these practices and still behave with respect for your culture and community.

It is fascinating how an unconventional community can transform reality and global thinking with lasting waves that penetrate society. 

You are influencing reality!

The wakes you leave can lead to an awakening.

Never underestimate the subtle consequences of unseen ripples ripping through society, transforming everyone’s thinking simply by behaving counter culturally. 

You may laugh at the part you end up playing by letting your presence make silly impressions that lead to a new face for referencing beauty.

I hope for you to enjoy life in a new and refreshing way this spring, may it bring you the courage to invest yourself in those whom you trust whole heartedly by seeing that to them has been delegated similar interests, concerns and cares that together produce a shared place of understanding. 

Perhaps many of those whom you already know are not weighed down by suffering but inspired by hope they’ve seen in redemptions story.

Ask about narratives others would love to share as a testimony to the success of healing.

Perhaps their expectations and hopefulness are enough to clarify how the earth is already working and why you’ve been assigned such an easy story, because everyone else is participating equally.

Perhaps you will even see more of those whose scandalous actions setup an opportunity for their mistakes to lead to great success because even matter uses mankind’s nefarious plots to achieve it’s perfect cause. 

Your community has given you a home where you don’t need to achieve things on your own.

Your assemblage of friends and your family are accomplishing things you can not yet see, all reflecting similarly your desire for healing to begin mending your country and local communities because everybody shares a common story and no matter how well we perform we achieve this mission perfectly by journeying in harmony. 

The only things assigned to you are meaningful activities that utilize the capacities you have fostered for thriving as they are playful and they are fun, their joyful purpose cannot be undone. 

Let your heart rise from it’s sunken position. 

If you are simply enjoying what you are doing that alone sets a blaze a forest in your own heart that is contagious to those around you.

May your zest for life and passion for learning inspire everyone to receive conviction that is burning!

Remind yourself that the rest is up to everyone else for we are all being directed by our own story that is orchestrating a part within the mosaic of society in its entirety, coordinating an eventual reality that is ever more perfected by those invested.

If we are sincere, acting in innocence, conscience made clear then there is no fear for we are enough even when it’s tough. 

Yearn to endure seas that are rough by turning back towards hands that clasp your healing cloak.
