The Open Sky


My heart feels like the sky does when it feels the possibilities of a storm arriving,
My eyes like the clouds shadowed by the other clouds of circumstance that begin to conceal the sunshine.
As they cast a little grey my way, I keep my heavy heart open to the movement within.
As it seems to be affected by the circumstance in the atmosphere, a seemingly external observation.

Has the sky any control over whether it storms?
Where does the wind come from?
Does the ocean of my emotion create the instability in my atmosphere?
Does that evaporation set teary precipitation in motion?

My heart feels like the sky whose opportunity is endless and whose winds of change are inevitable.
My eyes feel like it’s fragile clouds whose job it is to receive from the oceans until so full they release.
As they let go, they do their part in this natural cleansing ritual that leads to new growth.
Although they seem to be involved in something external and beyond their control, this all takes place in the sky.

This all takes place in the heart, the infinitely open sky that allows nature to take its course.
This all takes place in the heart, whose endless opportunities unfold as
The clouds, the ocean, the rain that falls gently and refreshingly when nothing resists,
Trust the sky and its movement, the winds of change that blow in the next opportunity and the sunshine and rainbows that follow even the storms.

Has the sky any doubt that the sun will shine into it and bring with it joyful new days?
Does it have any care that some winds will bring gentle, nourishing rains while others will result in just as nourishing storms?
Has it not room for whatever is on the horizon and openness for every new dawn?
Has it not the natural ability to trust itself, its process unfolding, its movement, its very own dance?

The sky contains the world and other worlds, the winds, the oceans, the clouds
Just as the heart contains the human and the other humans, all humans, their eyes, emotions, their toes and their motions.
We call this place of all-encompassing connection the heart, which we associate with love,
Because this all-encompassing, unconditional love is ever-connecting the naturally occurring dots unfolding the creation of the most miraculously ever-existing work of perfect art.

The Open Sky

My heart feels like the sky does when full of sunlit, pure white clouds of opportunity joyfully allowing the day to move and shape them,
My eyes like the clouds as they shimmer with the reflection of pure light that radiates from their soul-full source.
As that light illuminates my way, I keep my light heart open to the movement within.
As it finds peace in the gratitude of the beauty in the atmosphere, a seemingly external observation.

Has the sky any control over whether this beauty lasts?
Where does the light come from?
Does the ocean of my emotion create the beauty in my atmosphere?
Does that illumination set joyful dances into motion?

My heart feels like the sky whose opportunity is endless and whose winds of change are inevitable.
My eyes feel like it’s fragile clouds whose job it is to receive light from the sun and wear it like halos.
As they reflect, they do their part in this natural sharing ritual that takes part in lighting up the sky for all to see.
Although they seem to be involved in something external and beyond their control, this all takes place in the sky.

This all takes place in the heart, the infinitely open sky that allows nature to take its course.
This all takes place in the heart, whose endless opportunities unfold as
The clouds, the ocean, the countless speckles of pure sunlight that reflect a kaleidoscope of natural art,
Trust the sky and its movement, the winds of change that blow in the next opportunity and the sunshine and the dance the rays take part in with all of creation.

Has the sky any doubt that the sun will shine into it and bring with it joyful new days?
Does it have expectation that all winds will bring the glittering bodies of water more movement to their dance?
Has it not room for whatever is on the horizon and openness for every new dawn?
Has it not the natural ability to trust itself, its process unfolding, its movement, its very own dance?

The sky contains the world and other worlds, the winds, the oceans, the clouds
Just as the heart contains the human and the other humans, all humans, their eyes, emotions, their toes and their motions.
We call this place of all-encompassing connection the heart, which we associate with love,
Because this all-encompassing, unconditional love is ever-connecting the naturally occurring dots unfolding the creation of the most miraculously ever-existing work of perfect art.
