Design Provides Vessels for Offering

Design provides vessels for offering. Each shape contains the imagination of its maker. The form of every designed object, from a chair to a concert hall, is a dream made tangible. As matter is structured by desire, it creates containers that receive the energies poured into them before they offer them onward into the stream of existence. In this way, the things we design reflect the vessels of our bodies-hearts-minds as we are shaped by life to offer life into the currents of living.

How Something Becomes Holy

Something becomes holy

by offering it to wholeness.

You offer it to wholeness

by burning it

in the fire

that does not separate

sacred from profane.

Each time you toss

a cherished object or belief

into the flames of life

your gesture weaves

your separate mind

into the memory

of its unified source.

What you offer to life

already belongs to life.

The more you prize

the objects you offer

the stronger the reawakening

of oneness.

Your most cherished object

is the illusion

you are separate.

Burning this illusion

does not diminish you.

It merely removes

false coverings and divisions.

In the rising flames

limitations become spirit

ashes become gems

all things become holy.
