Life N a Body

I have occupied this temporary shell we call a "body" for quite some time. longevity being a relative concept. Life has not always been easy, in fact it has more often then not been quite a challenge. I have walked blind though most of this life. Yes I have tasted the glories and delights Of this world, of which I am a part. But only very recently have I seen the truth! i have throughout my life been tantalized with the Oneness of all that is, Had many guides offer to open the door And yet, I only took a cursory look. unwilling to take the leap unwilling to lose myself Whoever that is! I chose a parallel road instead. battling the forces of injustice taking the side of the every man I did good work, my ego momentarily satisfied, but the mind lives in a dualistic world, is uncomfortable in a place where all is connected, all is one! where the heart runs the show. My body has suffered in this lifetime consequently, my mind as well. this time around I'm being taught to SURRENDER! My eyes are as new, Seeing much for the first time Seeing that only through the heart can we open the gates of heaven. only though LOVE can I isolate my pain, and separateness and know they are not me. If we follow the path through the heart only then can we experience God! not as separate, but as another Part of the WHOLE!
