In the woods
We stand & ground
We reconnect
with the trees
with the stream
with the wild.
And then we remember.
Our essential Nature & Being is below all the layers,
beyond all the conditioning.
When you perceive the self, the self does not have fear
It does not arrive, neither leaves
Doesn’t starts or ends
Doesn’t die or its born
Cannot fade or change
It is not created or magically appears
The self has no judgement
You cannot keep it somewhere or lose it. Be far from it.
It is present.
When you are free of who you are,
You perceive the self.
