Waking Up

Waking up

erases beliefs, goals, purposes, and fantasies.

Like a faulty lens, thinking distorts perception.

You see only what you expect.

Stop thinking, look deeply, and

you are transformed

by the experience of what is right here,

for it’s all God,

including you.

In this gorgeously elated moment,

spiritual awakening happens,

in a glance, a heartbeat, a single breath.

Each day we stand at the threshold

between illusions

and extraordinary revelations.
