A spiritual identity is the perfect hiding place for shame. When it begins to deconstruct it can be very destabilizing for awhile.

"The whole Cosmos has come together to create you." ~Thich Nhat Hanh

From a CREATIVE SYSTEMS perspective we live in an evolving and self-organizing Universe, a cosmic work of science/art.

Born of energy and light our Cosmos has continuously brought new forms and meaningful beauty into being. Atoms, galaxies, stars, planets and LIFE are found everywhere.

Early estimates were of over 100 billion galaxies, now scientists believe the number is closer to 2 trillion.

How is that possible?

No one really knows, but we are all the living descendents of ancient ancestors, mystery, starlight and ever evolving life.

The whole Universe, at one point was smaller than a grain of sand.

As Einstein put it, our very existence here is a cosmic miracle.

The Dance of Fear and Grace

Never separate.

Fear has a forward thrust while grace is simple and here. Fear is noisy while grace is quiet. Unwavering quiet. Fear is chaotic while grace is the still pond of right now. Pristine. Fear has a shape while grace is the wide open space of everything. Fear braces while grace softens.

Fear is demanding while grace is allowing. Fear is exhaustion. Grace is rest. Fear anticipates danger while grace is free of all harm. Fear is isolated while grace is expansive. Grace is unconditional….unwavering presence. Fear grasps and clings. Fear torments while Grace is patient and kind. Fear says don’t stop while Grace says rest in me. Fear says I have to find safety while Grace says I am right here. Always right here.

Fear can’t find home while Grace is home. Fear anticipates danger and harm. Grace just is. Fear screams. Grace whispers. Fear says, I am alone. Grace says, I’m here. Always here. Fear is getting somewhere while Grace says somewhere is right here. You’re already here. Fear compares. Grace welcomes. Fear belittles. Grace accepts. Fear pounds her fists while grace holds those fists with tenderness. Fear cries while grace comforts .

Fear accuses while Grace says we are one…. Only one. Fear thrashes against confinement while Grace says, here here sweetheart….. Fear constricts and grace gentles. Fear controls grace is open and unknown. Grace is surrendered. Fear braces and grace releases. Fear worries about the future while grace is always the present moment. Fear is urgent and Grace is unhurried. Unlimited. Fear looks for certainty….Grace says just this like this.

The nature of the present moment

is free of personal agenda.

The survival self is a personal agenda.
