Bitten By the Heart
Bitten By the Heart
The Godness is closer to me in the morning,
at least it seems that way.
Probably the truth is
the truth just the same
at every moment
but
sometimes i/we can see it
and sometimes i/we can't.
Being blind is not something that
it is easy to be aware of.
Even so, in the morning
sometimes the truth about myself
is 'just there'
in a kind of shocking way.
O My God… i was wrong?
(stomach churns horrendously, nauseatingly, at the thought of it…)
but the realization that
once AGAIN i had believed falsely
in myself, and in my own mind,
and that i had ignored my heart…
o that is rightfully painful to see…
just as painful as seeing how deep the pattern
of believing the mind is EVERYWHERE
in this our only world.
A successful life… what is that?
Is it about doing?
or is is about being?
Will i on my death bed face
wishing i had only loved you better?
yes.
what had me stop?
the answer bites me in my heart… i have taught it so often…
why has it taken so long to learn it myself?
Don't believe your mind.
But i did…
i let it tell me you were not 'right for me'
that i 'should have something better, newer, different, something else'.
than what? than the happiness right here?
when is happiness right here not happiness?
when is it not the point?
dylan was prophetic when he wrote (for all of us caught in the trap)…"i threw it all away"
yes, i have also done that so so so so so many times.
And yet Love continues to Love me.
She comes again and again in form after form after form…
Can you see me now? she asks… waiting
only to be received, to be cherished, to be seen.
How truly insane…to be a teacher of God, of Love,
yet to say to a love form
"but be different than you are".
