To a Pebble


You see the sacred as sacred because sacredness gushes out through your seeing. You anoint holy men and holy books with the power that arises from the holiness of your heart. You bestow divinity upon the divine, then you bow.

You believe in this guru, that savior, this scripture, that creed, but it is your own heart that consents to believe. Without your heart's consent, no savior, guru, scripture or creed would have any power over you whatsoever.

Why not consent to see yourself as holy? Bestow all that sacred on its source. Then anoint every human being with your golden splendor. To friend and foe alike, say, "I bow down to God in you."

Say Namaste to a pebble.
