1. The Life Inside

The Life Inside

by Ori

When they tell you to stop and be still

It’s not about not moving

It’s about giving you the chance to recognize something,

that somehow has escaped your attention.

An aspect of you that seems to have gone unnoticed.

I know you can pay attention to many things.

and the world, it wants you to pay attention to a lot of things.

But to yourself,

Have you had an opportunity to pay attention to that ?

You see, attention is like a reservoir

And when you pay attention to the many things

That’s when it drains

But when you pay attention to yourself

That’s when it gets replenished

It’s easy for me to tell you about the life divine

But if you don’t know me

Then this means that your reservoir is low

That you can’t pay attention to yourself

That you have lost yourself in the ten thousand things

All I ever do is try to point you back to yourself

Because you, yourself is where it’s at

You yourself is where you find life

Out there, it’s what we call your life story

But life itself…

That’s inside, and that is a much bigger story

then the one you are clearly enchanted with.
