Here you are with the many people who make this transition from unconsciousness to consciousness.
Remember that consciousness is cumulative,
That what you learned yesterday is still inside you.
This day is simply another school lesson.
Rattling radiators fade into the background as silence takes over now.
Rattling thoughts come,
And then they too drop away,
Leaving only silence.
Quiet comes,
The quiet of not knowing what to say and of not having to say anything.
Return to your body from the inside out so that awareness grows like a seed flowering,
Stretching out to inhabit your whole physical frame.
Keep stretching and move so that you begin again to experience yourself a human form in the world.
Again from the inside,
Bring forth your emotions.
Whatever feeling comes needs to come.
Embrace it as you would a long-lost friend unexpectedly encountered on a street corner.
Inquire what this friend would like to say,
And listen.
These friends introduce you to deeper friends,
Those of the soul.
This can be a crowded meeting,
For like-minded souls are glad to hang out together,
Especially with all the barriers of time and space non-existent.
Be not alone with your soul.
May you this day be friends with your deepest self and find friends wherever you go.
Your gift today is to be a friend.
