Summary

The website content is a poetic reflection on the spiritual journey of surrendering individual identity to a universal essence, seeking unity and understanding through trust in a greater process.

Abstract

The text presents a deeply introspective narrative, using poetic language to convey a yearning for dissolution into a cosmic whole. It speaks to an individual's desire to transcend their personal struggles and ego, merging with a universal rhythm described as a "heart-song." The author expresses a wish to be absorbed, reborn, and unified with a force that is all-encompassing light, breath, and love. This transformation is portrayed as a lifelong journey of trust and self-discovery, where the process of surrendering leads to a profound sense of belonging and self-awareness. The narrative suggests that this path of unification is not just a spiritual aspiration but a necessary remedy for the pain of separation and individual longing.

O sacred pulse of universes take me in

absorb me in your heart-song collapse me

back to life

cover my eyes with your eyes

ebb my troubles in your flow

restore my heart with your shockwaves

bury my soul in your loam

remind me I am nothing

and no-one

but light all light

but breath all breath

but love all love

please make it so! I can’t go on like this

separate longing

for unification

I have come to trust the process

have begun to know myself

to know that light is the tunnel to belonging

and breath is the knowing of the heart
