The One (the many)

In every interaction, ask yourself…

Am I speaking to the many or am I speaking to the One?

Speaking to the One doesn’t require much. Just a settling back into yourself.

Speaking to the many is noisy, confusing, busy, hectic. It requires you to leave yourself. To accommodate. To to talk to not talk with.

Speaking to the one bypasses any shenanigans. It brings you back to the simplicity of the breath. Simplicity of the quiet. The audible silence.

This is an art. A practice. You cannot ‘do’ it. You be it and it does you.

And it requires a great slowing down. A great turning around. From the hectic to the still. From the confusing to the direct.

And it requires an acceptance or a letting be of the unresolved. Of the mess of it. This requires a willingness to be with the raw, undiluted truth of the moment. Whatever it may be. No matter how painful.

And there’ll be struggle there. Sometimes.

And you will mess up. But how will you clean up your mess?
