Stargazing Towards Infinity

 Stargazing Towards Infinity

My bare feet are standing on the fresh green grass, feeling the warmth of the welcoming ground beneath me, breathing in the fullness of the flower scented air that richly fills my whole body.

It is that special time between daylight and dusk, where the sun settles somewhere beneath the horizon and the moon rises its brilliant stillness to overlook the mysteries of the night.

Slowly, the sky turns dark and reveals its diamond stars, opening up a magical canvas of endless galaxies.

And as I am standing here, melting in a sensual fusion with every single particle around me, above and below, the whole Universe reaches me from the depths of my core, erupting from deep down in my belly, like a rhapsody of fireworks presenting me with the Truth of who I am.

I become dancing dots of infinity, just like the stars above me and the incandescent centre of the Earth beneath me, realising more fully than ever before that solid and ethereal are one and the same thing perceived as either one or the other.

The richness of each atom in and around me immersed in an effervescent ocean of perfect stillness, shifts my perception to the intrinsic harmony of what once seemed chaotic. 

The awareness that this very same body I am living in is made of nothing but everything frees me to sigh in unison with the cosmos, existing.

Reaching within, diving to the centre of what I have known to be me, I reach for the stars that seemed to be out there and as I hold them in my hands, they smile at the joy of my touch, knowing that they can finally show me their wellspring of bejewelled eternity, where nothing needs to remain but for an instant. The crystalline now, birthing and dissolving in a quantum wave of creative source. Free from all “befores” and “afters”, from everything and anything. Free to be here and anywhere.

No thought makes itself visible, as understanding becomes one with this immensity of knowingness that releases the need to be reached. 

I gently collapse to the ground in absolute surrender, like a feather detaining its flight to merge with the grass, the sky, the earth, the universe, the night holding me in its cloak of relief from the doingness of previous explorations. 

I smile at my own liberation. The prison of physicality was an illusion, after all. Human becomes a blessed point of Presence, in the no longer limited vastness of infinite possibilities. I embrace the wholeness of who I realise myself to truly be, sparkling tears of gratitude shining under the moonlight.

My arms are so wide they can encompass the whole of this magnificent planet that I have known to be home for time immemorial. Every single fellow human, every sentient being, every single organism and every single inanimate thing, has ample space to relax in my heart, as love, I realise, knows no boundaries at all - it is me, you, every single particle and all of the spaces in-between. On Earth and beyond it. All.

At this very moment, the whole Universe is a cohesive synchronicity playing to the tune of love, streaming forth from my heart as if an enormous dam has opened its floodgates forever after.

Love. The underlying source that sits serenely at the core of all there Is. Not to be sought. Understood. Reached out for. Simply to be allowed. Here. Now. Surrendered to. Merged into. Realised.
