loving the mystery

a friend sent me this quote from the book Emptiness Dancing by Adyashanti.
so timely given what I've been pondering lately...

"When we are in relationship as our own radiant
emptiness, the relationship is beautiful because we
are being what we are. Essentially we are in love with
a mystery. Mystery is in love with itself. When this
mystery is in relationship with an other, whether the
so-called other is the flower, the bird, the wind, the
coldness, or a human being, it relates to these as an
expression of the same mystery.

This is true sacred relationship, when we see that we
are really in relationship with the manifestation of
the mystery: here as this, here as that, here as him,
here as her, here as coldness, here as bitterness,
here as sweetness.

To be in relationship in this way is simple. It is
humble. It is very intimate. Then you can meet another
person in a whole different way. You return to
something that is innocent, where you are finally
willing to tell the truth, not to hide, not to force
consciousness into some relationship agenda, but to
simply let it emerge."
