'Here is everywhere, every moment for waking up before we die.'
Sara Baker Michalak THE GARDEN WITHIN 'December 27'
O thou dweller in my heart,
open it out, purify it, make it bright and beautiful,
awaken it, prepare it, make it fearless,
make it a blessing to others,

The essence of realization is nowness,
Occurring all at once, with nothing to add or subtract. Self-liberation, innate great bliss, Free from hope or fear. . .
