Expressing life's journeys in writing and poetry
By letting things be
You become again whole
By letting things be
You let go;
All is healed,
All is well
Be content to leave;
everything as it is
To say it as it is
To be with what is;
Accepting all as it is
Nothing has to change
Yet will change of itself
Nothing has to grow,
Yet will grow of itself
Nothing has to let go
Yet will let go of itself;
Be content to be with what is đ
~ M. L Adams
Totality is full expression in all of it’s form. Such a thing can only come from now – it exists in the newness or wholeness of all that is. In order to do this we have to let go- let go of any thought of what was or ought to be.
So it is to just be here, in every moment. Wherever you are, be there, be whole, be as one. All that was in learning and in life is gone. How can anything new ever come fully without letting go of this old, without fully letting go?
In the here and now, in all that is you find truth and it’s only here that the flow exists. It is here you can truly be and become all you can be. Therefore trust in the process in order to let go and flow completely.
In totality you find both good and bad, light and dark and in accepting this all becomes one, it’s there you see the truth, beyond all. Nothing else ever was, it was only ever a masking.
This way in between, in the space, is the way to follow, a way of being. It’s the balance, the truth and it only exists in the now. It is here that all preconceived thoughts and notions are let go of and all then comes from the one truth where anything is possible. Nothing is ever wrong or right, it just is and this is where peace is found.
Thinking in terms of judgement from the past or future is to split the whole, a whole which in reality cannot be split. To know one is to know the other and in acceptance there is full control – All seeing.
This is where you become truly free, with no fixed notions. You are only the knowing and seeing.
Blocks or splits in division, whether that be past/future, me/them, this/ that , better/worse cause conflict from within and out. This conflict is simply denial of the totality or the ISness of life, therefore then disallowing the truth to appear.
In truth we are all whole and one, yet we live in a world that appears to function on the illusion of separateness. As though we are somehow against each other and taught that we are never enough and so always have to strive to do, be and have more.
I myself have fallen victim to this illusion of not being enough for most of my life. Now I’m on a journey where everyday I commit to this not being so; to instead come from a place of love and oneness. Where I know myself, everyone and everything are whole, complete and equally worthy just as we are â€
Where all is whole and one
All that is, is;
All else you perceive to be happening,
Or to have happened;
Doesn’t exist
There is no need,
There’s nothing wrong;
In truth, there is only love,
Where all is whole and one,
There is only beauty and love â€
~ M. L Adams
Personal growth and transformation have to be one of the most rewarding parts of our life journey. However one paradox in this is that although goals are important they can sometimes get in the way of our connection with the present moment when we are too focused on an end result. It’s a fine line to cut between not having goals and living in the moment and having goals but still being present.
The difficulty with having no goals at all  is that we can potentially drift unfocused in to things that are of no good or use, such as negative thinking or watching T.V to pass time. However having goals can equally pull us out of the moment when we become too focused on the end or on the expectations that we may have for the goal, or when we expect them to happen.
Goals are great to drive us towards a greater cause and towards growth and continual improvement, but their function, I believe should not be to add so much pressure that it pulls out of now and out of the beauty of being and giving from where we are. When this begins to happen it is the point where we can re-evaluate our goals and whether there intention is working well in our lives or discovering from there what we can do differently.
Ultimately being here and now and giving from this space has to be the most important thing. Any future expectation is irrelevant and unimportant compared to happiness in the now that comes from a place of being and living in flow. This I believe serves ourselves and others more than anything.
With our goals in mind whilst allowing ourselves to be here and now, we will always reach them when the time is right. It is always about the journey, by focusing too much on the destination we miss out on all the beauty on the way. To strive with a goal in mind and to always be enjoying the journey by letting go of expectations then becomes far more loving and fun. â€
Sometimes just to be,
Just to love;
That’s all you need
