THE RIVERS AND THE HEARTH
On the Unending Flow of Fulfillment

by Maja Apolonia Rodé

I — The Rivers

You are not going to find satisfaction

anywhere but Here.

So, if satisfaction is what you're after,

then stay Here.

Staying Here means

stop moving elsewhere.

You can stop looking anywhere.

And instead of leaving yourself,

just be the openness

to what is already

coming to

you.

What is coming to you in this moment?

And this moment?

And this One?

The entire universe

is coming to you — continually,

like rivers to the

ocean.

Be what all those rivers are seeking to find.

Be what all those waters are naturally drawn down into.

Be everyone's answer to Where do I belong?

Be Here.

II - The Hearth

Instead of being the seeker,

be the sought — and the found.

Let yourself be found, 

simply and quietly found

in this moment

now.

No fanfare,

just a simple "Honey, I'm home."

And let all your kin rush into

your infinite and open

embrace.

Let your family of all things

come home to be welcomed and warmed,

and consumed in the hearth

of your being that is

simply you. 

Who you are Here,

the individual wonderful you,

is the hearth in which all things find

their true and ultimate rest and completion.

The fire of your heart welcomes all into

its eternal and unending

love.
