WeAre notIn pursuit of formalitiesOr fake religiousLaws,
For through the stairway of existenceWe have come to God’sDoor.
We arePeople who need to love, becauseLove is the soul’s life,
Love is simply creation’s greatest joy.
ThroughThe stairway of existence,O, through the stairway of existence, Hafiz
HaveYou now come,Have we all now come toThe Beloved’sDoor.
What holds significance for me, based on my personal beliefs, is that the journey towards connecting with a higher power is incredibly close, just a fleeting moment away at any given time, a blink of any eye. The path is inherent within each of us, much like the door that leads to this connection, one with what is.
The notion of a stairway and a door is, in essence, a construct of our own minds, influenced by our egocentric selves. However, in ultimate reality, we have always been united with whatever lies beyond that door.
In all truth, there is no literal stairway or door; it's a realization that can emerge in a singular moment, transcending such physical representations, whenever you are ready to do so, to surrender and transcend into the arms of the beloved. Nigel Lott teaandzen.org

In the quiet between heartbeats a whisper calls you home, you are not broken you are becoming. These threads of silence and sound are letters from the threshold, offerings from the edge of stillness. Nigel TEA AND ZEN - MAIN LIBRARY
