Everything You Know

Throw out everything you know.Then start looking for all the things you don’t know you know.Then, throw them out, too.Each step is a liberation, one less wall that obscures your view, one less impediment to your experience of love.Don’t let knowing be your path; it only leads to the death of love.Each thought, belief, assumption, interpretation, voice, pain, is an anchor into not-love.The awareness of the separation between who you think you are and love is the goad, the impetus for the transformation.The discovery at the end of letting go is that you are love. Maple TreeThe maple sheds its leaves giving its true nature to the sky.The loss of each leaf in a sunburst of color is a  liberation from the burden of its creation.Lying fallow and bare to the sky, the maple gathers its strength and grows, expresses a new, deeper shade of green, knowing it will shed its new burden to grow again.The deep pulse is harmonic, the melody of transformation.
