Intellect

What do I know. What do I know? Intellect alone as brain knows not what presence of being knows. I am complete. I open wide Ahhh now I know and my brain is so thankful to be brain with intellect that is in this place with support of truth to make sense of experiences. Not sticking to this or that, just being in quality of itself. Yes! Flowing and Open, expanded and aware. Now it is fun to be intellect. No boundaries, no fear, no only this way. Instead Expanded. And everything is capable of meeting and melting and freeing and felting. Yo Yo Ya Ya *Don't be smart, be Real. Don't be false be Open. Love is Love is Love is Love is...Oh! Love IS. I am free, I am tired, I am open wide like the heart of a child. Open. Fearless. Flowing. Gigantic. Oceanic. Waves crashing, lapping up to the shore sparkling with diamond gifts, laughing with sunshine warmth. Floating back into it all. Relaxed. Sparkling. Sweet. Buoyant. Free. All in. Thank you for all of it. The memory, the peace, the action, the stretching out of...and into....myself. The best and most open. The small me, the big me, the silly me, the jaded me, the blessed me, the blessings, the edges, the soft spaces. It can never be too much. Stand. Open. Smile. Extend. Out. More. Out....MORE...Ahhhh Hahahahaha SMILING. I Love You, Green Radiant. All in. It is all-ALL IN, and it is just that way because it cannot be any way else. The nature of it-of this is All in. No part left out because no part can be. On beat of the Universal Heart, One love, One knowing of it all to be. I can open my bones my blood my cells my lungs my breath my EYES. I can shine with the light of 1000 Suns all for You. All for all because I am here now. Small, silent, a heart beating, a rib cage lifting, a smile curving, a woman wanting, a mother holding the child of the Universe in my heart. Release, let in. Not let go....let in. Ahhhhh let in all that asks to seek. Be. Love. I want for nothing. I expand to everything. Beat. Beat. Breathe. Breathe. Love. Love. Let go. Sleep. Thank you. Thank you. Thank You. Thank you. BOOM!!! Let's go!! Wake up!!! Stay Awake! Don't forget to LIVE. Really LIVE. Right here. Right Now! OUT LOUD! Really Loud. Or not. maybe quiet, maybe sly, surrender to everything. I am here now to be here now. Hurry. No Don't! Well hurry up and remember to experience every last drop of it because it is just right now. Mmmmm the smell of Michaela's head as she sat in my lap. The feel of her downy soft hair on my lips. Breath has never been so sweet. The weight of her leaning against my chest with perfect faith. There is such a thing. She has it. Perfect faith in me. Mama. I can be that. I can be safe and perfect and feel safe and what is perfection? A fleeting, fervent, faraway beingness of Bliss. Of baby fingers and baby feet. Of one Being knowing another Being can do it. Can open up wide and hold them. Earnestly. Completely. No part left out. Fearless! Only love. Only now. Only Gratitude. Sweet Berry scented breath.
