You are not the pendulum of change:
Thoughts, moods, sensations, perceptions,
Swinging back and forth, this way and that.
You are that which knows the pendulum of change.
Notice this fact, and you are home:
The Changeless One.

So funny, we were just discussing the apparent pendulum of change yesterday. Here’s something you might find cute. Seeing her recite the poem herself will never be equaled by a reader standing flat-footed haha!

Beautiful recognition of our unchanging divine nature, Will. And why we must never listen to the cacophony of frightened and demanding voices in the world today that scream, change so that we are safe, change for the greater good, change for the new normal, change because we tell you to, change so we can stay asleep, dreaming, and never face the fact that what I am trying to change is non-existent.

Only the dead can die,
not the living.
In reality there is only
the source, dark in itself,
making everything shine.
Unperceived,
it causes perception.
Unfelt,
it causes feeling.
Unthinkable,
it causes thought.
Non-being,
it gives birth to being.
It is the immovable background of motion.
Once you are there, you are
home everywhere.

A Medicine Women’s Prayer
I will not rescue you.
For you are not powerless.
I will not fix you.
For you are not broken.
I will not heal you.
For I see you in your wholeness.
I will walk with you in your darkness
As you remember your light.
