Let’s walk together
you and I;
shoulder to shoulder,
side by side.
Together,
we’ll realise the courage
to open our hearts
to all that we encounter
on this journey
called life.
Wherever we go,
whatever we do,
whoever we meet,
whatever we say,
let’s do so with love.
Laugh or cry,
sing or whisper,
dance or walk,
let’s do so with love.
Stepping gently,
let us share of ourselves:
express from the heart,
be open to all,
the judge of none –
no good or bad,
no right or wrong,
no friend or foe.
Without seeking profit or fearing loss,
all barriers fall
as we give and receive
in transactions of love.
When we share in this joy
come rain, sun, wind, or snow,
fair weather or storm,
no clouds of illusion can obscure The Way
as we walk together
happy and free.
It matters not, if we ever meet –
we don’t need the presence of the body;
just the presence of mind – a stillness within that’s empty of thought;
for it’s this that allows hearts to open
and bring us together,
again.
We shall know one another
not from sight or memories past,
with their judgements: praises and blame,
but from intuitively knowing
that in this moment
we both walk the path with hearts open.
Be it for an instant or a day,
until death or beyond,
we will know the truth of the other,
we will know the truth of the self:
that there’s no difference between you and I –
all things connect,
everything’s One;
a closed heart just doesn’t know that.
Who you are and who I am, it really just doesn’t matter:
you, could be I, them, or us,
walk on two legs or four,
fly or crawl on your belly,
move or always be still,
an animal, vegetable, or mineral.
Because, in truth,
there is no you,
there is no I, them, or us:
all is One,
One is all –
all is life.
So, let us open our hearts,
move forward in love,
all walking together
as the One we are
