There is Not Something Inside of Us Which Loves So Deeply ...it is Us Nancy Neithercut

I try to carve a window in my chest So when you look inside You don't see a heart shaped mirror You see only your unutterable beauty. I can only describe what it was like before... What happened, and try to sing of what it's like now, after this profound permanent shift in perspective. I am not trying to convince anyone of anything. I am not trying to change your beliefs or erase them. I know that you are not the instigator of your thought belief feeling or action, and that you and I and all thingness are simply a beautiful flowing thought dream... I am not trying to change you or the world I know you are unutterably beautiful just as you think you are, and that no one, nor the world is broken. Some words may resonate, some may not... Some may sound similar to others who have experienced this shift and some may not. Many of my songs may skip the habitual thought patterns out of the usual groove of assumed knowing, and leave the mind hanging with no where to go. Some love this feeling of sensuous lostness... others don't. Awakening is not a belief or understanding or philosophy. There is nothing to get and no one to get it. There are no things to understand and no one to understand them... No place to arrive and no one to arrive. I feel the pain of seekers deeply as I was once desperately looking for what I knew not.... ...an end to the pain... and I see them mouthing the words of teachers that simply perpetuate the painful illusion of separation and, well, I sing.
