One Squirrel Heart

It's morning and I'm sitting here on the couch contemplating my squirrelove, Bucky. Listening to Deva and Miten singing "Aad Guray", tears flow spontaneously... little Bucky is visiting me again!

Where do the tears come from? 

They come from the One Squirrel Heart! 

Like Kahlil Gibran said,

 "When you love you should not say, 

"God is in my heart," but rather,

"I am in the heart of God."

I would rewrite that to read:

"When you love you should not say,

"Little squirrel is in my heart," but rather,

"I am in the heart of the Squirrel."

I would further simplify this to:

"There is nothing but the One Squirrel Heart."

Everything proceeds from and is included in the

One Squirrel Heart!

Squirrels already know this and live it. 

 If you've had the  privilege of living with a squirrel,

 you know what I mean.

Squirrels live in oneness.

As Candice O'Denver says in Naked Intelligence:

"There is no two.  That is the importance of resting as awareness.  

We refine our perception to allow for the fact that there is no two, that the reality appearance is just as it is. It doesn't need to be changed. 

 It's a perfectly pure appearance of awareness, 

and it goes so much against everything we learned,

 that it can be kind of startling sometimes to see 

what we're really made of, to just allow everything to be as it is, 

and not go for the bypass."

My bypass or antidote was Bucky. Every morning he would splay out on my left shoulder 

as I sipped my Brazilian coffee.

I had come to really depend on this sweet "squirrel sadhana" to get into a really nice state of clarity.  

However, Sri Buckyji, being the loving guru that he was, reminded me,

 "If you see the buddha on the road, 

kill him!" Bucky was in fact my buddha and

 asked me to release him!

Now as I sit here with myself, I can speak from the 

One Squirrel Heart~

   

There is no antidote that can bring about uncontrived compassion or bring us beyond dualistic thinking. Because in depending upon any antidote, we enter the world of "two"...  and we miss the truth:

  We already are what we're looking for!

We are that love... we are compassion!

This was Bucky's message.

 Don't look for another antidote. 

Don't look for any curative measure!   

Just let everything be as it is! 
In Candice's words:

"We allow all the thoughts we've tried to push away, all the emotions we've tried to push away, all the experiences we've tried to push away, or change, or replace in some way to be as it is. This is the heart of reality~ where there is no two of ultimate and relative.

It's so entirely blended that its never been unblended or split."

Bucky didn't see me as separate from him... and still doesn't.  It's my perception that needs to be refined to allow for the truth that there is "no two".

Whatever appears is what I'm looking for...

One Squirrel Heart!
