Clearer today; this helps:
Lee van Laer subtract, Daily Five, today, The Goodness of Being:
“Without making any special effort, I let go.
I yield to the authority of the body, and
of its sensation of itself.
An authority that belongs to it
without interference.
And in this way,
I am already more directly in contact
with this sensation of being.
And as I reach the bottom of the breath,
I invest myself in it.
Every cell alive.
It is as though I have reached the bottom
of a deep pond
with clear water.
And I am resting there among the roots of lotus flowers
who draw their nourishment from this place.
There is earth below me
water around me
clarity within me and above me
fed by sensation
yet undisturbed by thought
and from within this transparency
I breathe in the great goodness of life itself
giving thanks
for the entire length of time it takes to breathe in,
and giving thanks
for the entire length of time it takes to breathe out.
And in this way,
the molecules in me are more aligned.
More able to transmit the energies that flow into being.
And so the light moves into the body,
into its deepest places,
singing, "Yes."
And it finds a home here.
For there is a deposit of goodness and love
already here at the root of the soul.
And what the light brings in finds it,
and leaves some of itself behind
in order to add to it.
So that the whole body becomes more alive
with the taste of this goodness of being.”
