Being Home

I have arrived
I am home
In the here
and the now.
I am solid;
I am free.
In the ultimate,
I dwell.
Thich Nhat Hanh
Walking meditation; peace is every breath.(page 30)
 
We all want to go home whether we know it or not.  We want to stop running, hiding, attacking, defending, searching, striving, wanting, thinking  and doing...for at least a moment, don't we? We want to go home to the place where there is nothing but peace so we can at least get a breather? We want to return to the ultimate  Source of unconditional love and presence (what I refer to as God) if only for an instant?
 
The thing is...an instant is all there is.  Go home now...Be home now.
 
You do not have to do anything to get there.  You literally do not have to move a muscle. :) Just put down your resistance to Life, and simply allow home to open up in you. Resistance is all about doing. Non resistance is all about allowing.
 
Allow! Know you have already arrived; you are home in the here and the now; solid and free, dwelling in the ultimate.
 
You don't "do" Life.  Life does you.
 
All is well!
