When I, a true woman or man of no rank,

look through awakened eyes at the real form

of this universe, all that appears is the never-

ending, never-failing manifestation of the

mysterious unfolding of truth. In any event,

in any moment and in any place, none can

be other than the marvelous revelation of

the interplay of this glorious light.

This realization has been the transformational

moment causing all of our masters and

mentors, patriarchs and matriarchs, to

experience true freedom and joy beyond

comprehension and to then extend tender

care, with a worshipping heart, to all beings,

beasts and birds, trees and flowers,

even rocks and waters.

This realization teaches us, reveals to us,

that our daily food and drink, clothes and

protections of life, are the very warm flesh

and blood, the merciful incarnation of this

ever-present, living, divine mystery.

Who then, can be ungrateful or disrespectful,

even to senseless things, as well as to human

beings? Even though some may appear to be

fools or so-called enemies, we will remember

to be warm and compassionate toward them.
