I am LifeYour pure essence, spirit and seed of existence itself, That lies within you, longing to awaken and flourish. I am long before you and after you, never born, never die, timeless, without boundaries. I am pure unconditional love, wholeness, connectedness, freedom, bliss, joy, peace, stillness. I am That beyond the gross and limited, yet you are blinded. You choose the illusion that you have controlthrough grasping and being caughtby all that is unreal and comes and goes. You think you are alive but you barely know Life.You choose separation. It is time to wake up! Have strength, courage and trust to let go. Surrender the fear and all that imprisons you. I am beyond mind, thoughts, emotions, ego, conditioning, desires, needs, attachments, memories, dreams, goals, forms, identities, ideas. Beyond all that arises. When all that I am not is released and let go, I AM..Total, whole, eternal, infinite. And such also is all that arises. No more questions. Home. No more you, I, us. No more words. . Patsie Smith

The face of everyone in mine, the oneness with every blade of grass, the flight with the flocks in the sky, the dance with the clouds across endless skies. The strength with every tree, rooting deep into mother earth, springing forth into the heavens, extending branches of gratitude and love.... Such a privilege, honor and grace, such a gift and joy.
