Heartful Permission: Nurturing Guidance for Returning Home

Everything is so opposite.

I was just seeing how different the inner world is from the outer world.

In the inner world—if you see any anger—you just show your love. 

If you see any kind of power—you become powerless. 

You see any bigness—you become small.

If you see any thief—you give your keys.

If there is something closed inside of you—you just stand there as it is.

Everything is so opposite.

You see something speedy inside—you just be in the restfulness.

You do not need any kind of tool to live this handless way.

If any part is fighting—you completely lay your head down.

Then the treasure is there, but you do not need to look after it. Th en the power is there, but you do not need it. The knowledge is there, but you are not thirsty anymore. The source is there, but you do not want that ending.

And this is where you just wonder, is it beginning or ending? Is it living or dying? Is it everything or nothing? You just wonder, is there more to give or to receive?
