Ong Namo…
Greeting universal consciousness
As it fills the space in every cell in my body
The dark and cold of the cave behind me
The immovability of the rock surrounding me
The dawning light at the cave mouth
The steam from the awakening earth and plants
As the morning warmth blends with the cold of night
The earthy smell mixing with the heady perfume of awakening flowers
The profound silence
Interspersed with the calling of birds
The trees stretching their branches
So the leaves absorb the sun
The rough robe against my skin
Morning hunger letting me know I’m alive
The growl of ‘Ong’ from the lower abdomen
Vibrating the roof of my mouth
Opening the third eye
Everything feels soft
Blessed with light
It is as it is
I am because you are
Everything is balanced into existence
Dependent origination
I am the right person
In the right place
At the right time
Because I couldn’t be anywhere else.
