Surrender: the Quickest Path to Freedom

You are eternal, full of infinite knowledge and grace.
It is not knowledge that any of us need to be seeking.
It is only to bow down to the starry sky, to bow down
To the heart beat, resonating in the chest, to bow down
To the cricket and the bee. All these things are
The doorway to knowledge. When you bow, you let
Go of the notion of separation. You become
Surrendered to that which moves you. And when you surrender,
you become part of.
So bow down to all of it, even that which
You despise. For it is the quickest path toward freedom.

In the beginning, we know infinity is not a concept.
We know it is a feeling in the bones, of love,
Mixed with air and pace and timeless awareness.
It is only the forgetting that we need to address.
Remember who you were before you even knew
What it was to be you. When you knew only experience.
It is a very young age in which we know only experience.
But this is how it is when we remember.
How it is when we merge with infinity.
