No cage – No bird – Just Space.
This vision came to me today while sitting in silence after mass.
A little dove sits quietly in a cage, the door is wide open.
Nothing is preventing flight, yet the dove does not move.
It simply rests.
Notice what is truly present.
Not just the dove, not the cage, not even the open door—
but the space in which all of them appear.
The dove appears in this space.
The cage appears in this space.
The open door appears in this space.
That space is not confined.
It is untouched by the bars, unchanged by the door,
unmoved by whether the dove flies or stays.
That space is awareness.
That space is what you truly are.
The dove does not need to escape for the space to be free.
In the same way, you do not need to go anywhere, fix anything, or break through anything.
You are the space in which the dove, the cage and the idea of freedom itself are appearing.
I opened those eyes so you could See.
I closed that door so you could let Me in.
I broke that heart so you could Feel Me.
Merge with Me Here in (t)his open space, you are already free.
I Love You.
From the Holy Scriptures:
Galatians 5:1(NIV)
It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.
2 Corinthians 3:17 (NKJV)
Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
John 8:32
Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
Matthew 11:28-30
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.
Psalm 23:2-3
He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,
he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake.
John 14:27
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
