This present moment 
timeless experience of being 
where all exists at once 
joy, pain, beauty 
all experiences merging 
forming one experience of being 
waves of awareness 
passing through 
opening the heart 
expanding the mind 
freeing the spirit
 
The vase is cracked 
I wanna take it back 
No, said the keeper 
It's gonna make it cheaper 
The vase is cracked 
I wanna take it back 
No, said the Joe 
You gotta let it show 
The vase is cracked 
I wanna take it back 
No, said the one 
You gotta have some fun 
The vase is cracked 
I wanna take it back 
No, said the light 
You gotta learn to fight 
The vase is cracked 
I wanna make it whole 
Oh, said the being 
Why didn't you say so?
 
The grace of love 
flows through my heart 
through these delicate veins 
as thick red iron and water 
strong and fragile is life
 
Simplicity holds truth 
without inflating the ego-mind 
without getting stuck 
on words, on thoughts, 
on impressing somebody 
and see, I have already gotten 
too complicated 
for surely 
someone will analyze this 
and judge it, as I already have 
and all this love will be lost on words
 
Open heart 
so simple, yet 
so hard 
Open heart 
but will I be loved? 
will I be judged? 
will I remain as important 
in my own mind as I am 
attached to being? 
Will I be praised? 
will I be genius? 
extraordinary? 
special? 
remembered? 
Open heart 
will I feel pain? grief? humility? 
will I be destroyed? 
Open heart 
but how do I show the world 
the innate, beautiful, miraculous, 
awesome existence of God 
that we all possess within us? 
Open heart
 
Sure, let the mind flow 
awareness expands 
we are liberated from false beliefs 
a tool, a gift we have  been given 
this mind 
let it flow 
 just be aware when trying, proving, competing 
just watch them 
like sweet children 
crying out for love 
just love them 
and rock them to sleep 
sing to them and praise them 
raise these children to know 
they are loved 
and don't need to prove their worth
 
God/Goddess bless us all on our journey to loving ourselves and each other 
and to freedom, 
Namaste, Ho, Amen, 
Michelle
