"Love, self-liberated, this...is the path...

Love's absence, self-liberated,

this as well is the path..."

To Be Found
by Willow Pearson

We are always looking for the mirror
by which we might see
our true Self

Look closely.

There is no place that mirror is not

Yet the vastness that we are
cannot be captured
in a single image

Through that One, see all beings

We are always listening for the voice
by which we might hear
our true Heart

Listen closely.

There is no place that voice does not resound

Yet the vastness that we are
cannot be captured
in a single sound

In that one tone, listen
as the whole universe sings back to you

The need to be seen, heard
through sacred reflections, and earthly echoes
is the guiding impulse of our basic sanity

Surrender.

While looking and listening,
as we must and as we will
Remember
the One
who looks and listens

Become the inward mirror of your searching eye
the inner echo of your true heartsong
Become the very Beloved you seek

There is nothing you are not

Nothing.

"This is our grace, to be a note in the exact chord that animates creation."
-Jami Sieber
