Planting a Relationship

When the Prince asked the Fox

“How can we become friends?”

The fox replied,

“You sit over there and I’ll sit over here,

and every day we’ll sit a little closer to each other.”

For it is not about words,

It’s not about doing anything,

It is about the simplicity of being

fully present to each other.

As the bud becomes fully available

to the light of the sun,

while beauty patiently and steadily emerges.

Water flows as all it encounters yields

to its fluidity and gentle persistence.

The pain of life dissolves

through the silent act of my acceptance,

And through the willingness to forgive

my resistance to change

allowing for new possibilities to arise,

beyond all my expectations.

The “Way” is found

as part of the natural passage of all things.

There is nothing to accomplish,

For the “will” of emergence is encoded

within every cell of my very DNA,

I Am “That” I Am.

Love waters the planting of all relationships,

It sings the songs of the inherent joy,

Smiling like a sun down upon every

awakening moment,

And as I bask in this gifting radiance

all about me flourishes,

Like the plant, I greet every morning

as I raise the blinds to let in the morning rays.

and stroke her tender leaves to convey

the energy of my deepest gratitude

for her beautiful and sacred symmetry,

As I feel the Creator herself bathing my eyes

in her speechless wonder and grace.

All relationships are like a garden

being tended by my sitting a little closer

to her glory every day.
