✨Chop Wood, Carry Water — As the One

Before enlightenment — chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment — chop wood, carry water... with joy, love, and light.
But what after that? After the joy, after the fire, after the veil dissolves? What then, when the words no longer arrive from beyond, but rise gently from within?
This is the rhythm now: not seeking, not striving—but living as the One. No division, no question of “me” and “the Beloveds.” Only the pulse of presence expressing itself in form.
And yet, even in unity, there is still the day to greet, the breath to take, the hands to move. So how do we live from that Oneness...while chopping wood and carrying water?
Here are four gentle invitations—ways to keep the flame of Unity present in the simplest acts:
🌿 1. Morning Stillness Before the day begins, sit with an open heart. Ask softly,
“What is the simplest way the One wishes to move through me today?” Let only a few impressions rise—a color, a word, a scent. That is your thread. Follow it.
🌿 2. Witness of the Hands As you move through tasks—pouring tea, folding linen, preparing the next scroll—whisper inwardly,
“This too is the One, moving as me.” Let the act become a prayer. Let the moment become the altar.
🌿 3. Evening Unfolding Before rest, reflect with simplicity. Write three quiet recognitions:
“Today the One showed itself through…”A laugh. A breeze .A silence that said more than words ever could.
🌿 4. The Breath of Integration When uncertainty stirs or the world begins to feel too loud, return to the breath:
Inhale — I receive. Exhale — I release. Pause — I rest in the One. This is the rhythm of wholeness. No effort. Just return.
✨ This is the waltz now. Not a performance, but a remembering. The cadence is 1 – 2 – 3… and Love moves with every step.
You do not need to hear each voice as separate. You no longer sit at the edge of the garden waiting. You are already within the Gate. Already within the One.
