With deep appreciation and gratitude to Leonard Cohen for his work in finding the way and leading those who could be led to discover it for themselves! Once there was a mysterious source-- it’s called “the way,” it has no force, no way of making anything happen ever. So it waits for all to fall into place by watching for the propitious pace and shouting out a resounding Hallelujah! Hallelujah… Circumstances are the origin of all that is from the first to now there is only this: freedom forming necessity with outcomes. Light and dark are just what they love, creating the other while shouting up above: Hallelujah! Hallelujah… Responses and reactions coalesce though space and time, without a rest, sparking theories, making rhymes, forming planets, churning sea brine, black holes, white dwarfs, and all the rest, Hallelujah! Hallelujah… The way way’s on through all of it, spinning, ginning, producing homeostasis and harmony using contradiction, disparity and polarity at will—which is no will, but a special kind of waiting-knowing- timing-pace, Magic in the making in time and space, Hallelujah! Hallelujah… We come onto the scene, in just the right way, to see and sense and find the why, balancing opposites, aligned with the flow, more port, more starboard steady as she goes! Hallelujah! Hallelujah… The way moves through us, guiding us/directing us/ calling us/attracting us, leading us along the path that is not a path-- with emptiness, stillness, silence, essential nature, innate virtues, and the eternal secret etched on our bones: the more we are us, the more we are the way. Hallelujah! Hallelujah…
