and more poignant now than ever.
We are the universe aware of it's existence.
Let that sink in for a moment.
We are the very consciousness of the universe aware of it's existence.
And we know this is true...
That we need to get ourselves back to the garden.

lost in a bad fairytale, distracted by a story we were told to believe in where we believe in endless beliefs and conceive of endless concepts about not being there. A story where we are lost in a lost world and strangers in a strange land.

Then we peel back the filters and turn down the tornado of reactionary emotions and suddenly, there is a clearing in the imaginary forest of thoughts that guard the vernal space of sunshine and beauty. There is the garden that was never gone and were always home, but it seems like the first time, again.

Pure, fresh, clear, bright, vast, spacious, refreshing, peaceful, fulfilling. A cornucopia of luminous reality. A fountain of spontaneously amassed wealth. Timeless.

because sometimes we forget, and some of us don't even seem to know it.
When i find myself getting worried and upset about things, it always helps if i just stop and tell myself...we are all connected, we are all made of the same thing, we are all connected with love (even those among us who are full of hate, they are just forgetting).
