Emergent
Seeing
Seeking
and found.
It lies like a primordial shell on the ocean floor of time
No one knows its beginning
only its expanses
its tender notions
about itself
as it seek to reclaim itself moment by moment.
It is the oldest of its kin
but the youngest of its kind
and dreams the Big Dream.
It knows its godliness and godessness
as it turns golden
in its circling spiral upward
no word can contain it
but everyone chases after it
eyeing a tender splinter of it as it rises,
awash from storms
in the deep ocean of our time
and memory.
It expands outward
and inward
and is known in its smaller dimension here
and in other worlds.
Some slips of it reach through the crevices of our self imposed enslavement
to glimpse a sliver or blast
from its deep endless boundless ovens
of transformation
to bring back tales of that something
that the little one is.
The little one is like an earthling
of its god-self.
Deities cast through all of matter
space and time
hidden
but not lost
not secret
just unknown
to blind minds
closed hearts….
not because we are all so bad
but because there is still so much more to open to
as our eyes widen and hearts expand.
The little is the big
and the big its smaller self too.
Like you are, humbled before an oversoul
or god
or goddess
laughing that it too is you….
this is simply an expansion of what has always been
and what lies outside of time
so it has no known boundaries,
nor limit.
We simply glimpse a part of it
but in catching that thin slip of it
grasp for more
gape-eyed in the moment when it comes
and makes our souls
open
like the flowers
that we are in truth really are.
“Open! Open!” the love calls
man and woman,
bird and star
all of it
bursting to fullness
by opening to it
from emptiness and lack
to abundance and light.
You only see it when it is in you
(no wait….it is always in you…we just need to be aware….)
as Sattva G. said “The universe is awakening with me….”

The small love turns around the big one
even if we do not know it
or feel it
but when ready
we will rise into it
or it will lower into us
and love us like no other lover has ever dared or known
but which we seek to emulate
even if it might have no chance to do
and even if it does.
So sing
and rejoice
and grasp hold of it
as it turns you through the dark and the light
your journey now takes you into its peace
and forgiveness
to claim you as its greatest love
which is the biggest of them all…
