Dear Universe,
It is with a heavy, exhausted heart that I say, “thanks”. Deep in my heart I know that I am feeling exactly what I need to, in order to move into my next moment. Sometimes I try to force myself into the next moment quicker than time (your heartbeat) wants me to. You want me to enjoy and learn from each beat. I try, each day, I try. I am also trying to not turn the hands of time backwards.
I know, each moment is precious, and I thank you for that. That, and all of the people, experiences, good things and bad things that are part of each moment, I am thankful. From these people and things I learn - I try to take the good forward and leave the bad behind.
Thank you Universe for all of these things, including my very tough day today.
I love you and me.
Steven, Dallas/USA

Steven,
I liked your post. especially the parts that are thankful for the bad as well as the good. This is lost on most of the religious who think that all pain in ones life should be given over to their god so they don’t have to deal with it. Unfortunately this just causes a severe detachment from reality and an insensitivity to it in other people. Pain is there for a reason, we should face it courageously and not run for shelter every time it makes an appearance. Faced head on it can make us better people. I’m an Atheist, but I think talking to the universe makes perfect sense, rather than just one more god in a very long line of them. We have a very intimate attachment to universe and talking to it only makes it more intimate and in fact can have the same psychological benefits of praying to a god, without the debilitating side effects of loss of reason, and detachment from reality. Just please don’t ruin it with a holy book and holy men. Cheers Kozz

Thank you for your post Steven. I needed to be reminded not to fear the bad. I used to live each day embracing both the good and the bad. I got off track somewhere and am positive that stumbling across this site today and reading your post was not an accident.
Thank you Steven and thank you BB UNVRS (big buddy universe…it’s what I call “it”)

There’s nothing here on earth to fulfil this hunger I am feeling.
I feel joy and pain in equal measure and I could not feel the joy if I were not also in hell at the same time. The deepest deepest pain and sadness imaginable. I want to reach out or reach in but there seems no where to go, just flying on an air stream hovering and trying to hold on. So much yearning, so much love and so much of my little crumpled self. Contracting and expanding again and again, and just holding on while it continues. My body and mind aching, hardly the energy to get out of bed. a brief and powerful flash of myself in the mirror as a child, their filth all over my face, my mouth aching, but I can’t see her face. I want to see her face. And now I am dying of the pain and the sadness as I long to see her clearly. She remains untouched. Nothing can touch her spirit, she was encased in deep encrusted earth, but at her core remained the light. Nothing can destroy the light, it can only be hidden. That is all. And so she is there, caked and encrusted and waiting to be broken open by a silent word or breath, and easy effortless beat of the heart, that is all that it would take. An effortless heartbeat of love. Silence, sacred silence and knowing. Knowing that nothing can ever be touched or broken. I skate towards my old age, white hair streaming across the ice, until I fall, like I used to fall into the hedge grove, roller skating down those fearless hills, I will skate right into death, into my life, my love. I will be there with you, with you all, and I have never left you. I cannot ask anything of this life, except to understand what it is. Nothing can be taken away. Everything has to be borne and it is the bearing that brings the joy. All I can hear are whispers, all I can see are the vaguest flashes of truth to keep me going. There’s so much beauty I think my heart will break if I open up to it. It is all so heartbreakingly beautiful and full of love. All of this terrible terrible pain is so full of this heartbreaking love.
