Perception’s Threshold

“If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear as it is – infinite.”
William Blake


“Open Doors” — by: Christa Taylor

 

We are infinite beings
standing at perception’s threshold
eager to find the truth

here we find ourselves
awaking slowly
from some infinite place

our coming to be
unknown to us as any mystery
our essence is an enigma

learned in stories
in evolving relationships
gradually we open to our identity

slowly — awareness dawns
like the rising of a newborn sun
breaking on our doorway of perception

we feel the draw of its warmth
and flow effortlessly into timelessness
as though immortal in the evermoment

we see — not over the horizon
for we perceive no horizon at all
there is but limitless eternal possibility

we comprehend no end — no beginning
immersed only in the perfect now
embodied wholly of our origin

it is therein exists the miracle of life
we are infinite beings — in this moment
dreaming to sustain this infinite moment

the struggles and limitations of time and reality
are not their truth — but our perception
so let go into the flow — let time carry you
