Fully Secure

Grand Canyon and Colorado River from North Rim vantage point.

Fully Secure

10/31/10

It's another great paradox

that by letting go

the idea of 'self',

seeing nothing is permanent

as river constantly changes ,

and 'myself' a collective

of elemental ingredients, earth,

water, fire, air, space,

plus consciousness, I'm freed,

knowing transient fluid life

gives no guaranteed promises,

where dying I'll continue,

return to molecular world,

yet instead of insecurity

I feel connected, inseparable

from ancestors and heirs,

every tree, rock, cloud,

animal, bug, or human,

fully secure, openly loving.
