(Reading from Angi’s Basic Flow class, 1/24/12)
Our Greatness is Asking
In all our doings
From waking to turning off the light
We can begin to forget
Then truth steps in
And pulls us closer to the face of experience
And we remember
We remember the sensitivity of life
And the similarity of our stories.
We remember the textures of our breath
And the consciousness behind our eyes.
We remember that to be loved we must love
And to connect we must open.
We remember again and again
And soon we begin to see with an expanded, truthful heart.
Because our Greatness is not asking us
To climb Mt. Everest or learn three different languages.
It is not asking us to master the art of levitation
Or memorize the minds of scholars.
It is not asking us to DO anything.
It is asking us to simply be right here
Again and again,
To be honest and vulnerable
And accepting of our differences,
To be grateful and compassionate
And supported by the energy of life,
To everyday come close to the face of this humanity
And feel the threads of the Divine connecting us all.
Our Greatness is simply asking us
To remember.
