Who’s birthday again?

You said it was your birthday today....
And that you were still not liberated
A painful sadness shimmering the calmness in your eyes

And then satsang happened

The tender undressing of the somebodyness
That rented the facial space
and contracted itself in your forehead

The beauty of the fragrance of your face
When you ..in the stopping.....saw that you are a wordless openness

The nakedness in the two stunned tears
Effortlessly caressing your cheeks

The utter innocence
In the way you looked.....from nothing....at nothing

Like a child radiating maturity completely unknowingly

So beautiful You Are

I just want to tell you
that my birthday happens to be tomorrow

But while writing this...
tomorrow has become today

Literally


Who’s birthday again?

You are the candle in the dark..
you are the sweetness in the cake,
and reading you is deliciously uplifting.

Happy rebirthday Katrine, today and every day

I got the impression that Katrine is not really saying it was her birthday, but that it was someone else's and that we are all one. Or that she is empathising with someone who has a birthday. And that looking in the mirror brings out the concept that we are not this body. And the concept that thinking you are not liberated yet is an attachment to the illusion of time.
But I'm always seeing things differently, so happy birthday Katrine whenever it is!

...

It was both you see....

There was this man....who suffered this thought....and it was the only thing standing between him and the openness...which he tastes all the time (he was very ripe)....it is just that the continuous identification with it takes time ...to fully surrender to. Anyway...when I saw it clicked in him on the 12th ....it was so beautiful....and my heart was promted to write.....so later on I did...and while writing it...the time passed midnight in Norway....and my birthday is on the 13th.

Yet neither he nor I was ever born...so it is noone's birthday...and yet the embodyment of the openness could never have happened were it not for the fact that Katrine and NN was once born of respective parents.

So - bless all the bodies walking this earth....and bless the body that is Mother Earth. May we enjoy all birthdays.....and at the same time surrender to that without which nothing could exist.

Or...as a friend of mine wrote today:

Happy birthday all moments
