Not Doing, Being

By Jane Tawel

November 3, 2026

*

I AM not absent

You just don’t want to be with Me.

If you feel My Presence

You shudder

As if a cold bracing breeze

Is blowing in your heart.

But you rarely let Me touch you.

You are busy

with doing and doing and doing.

And so you can not understand

that I do nothing,

I need do nothing.

I can do nothing,

For I do not choose,

I simply AM.

*

My Spirit blows where it will

And when it touches you

It will clear your clouded mind

It will also stun you into nothingness.

You long to live forever

Doing all your busy work

Thinking all your busy thoughts

Praying all your busy prayers.

But you do not yet realize

That the business of Heaven

Is nothingness.

*

I do not offer rest for the weary,

I offer no weariness — 

because you are finished with doingness.

Stop begging Me to act,

It is beneath a Divine child.

Stop thinking you can force me

To act on your behalf,

I simply AM

And you need nothing

That you do not already possess.

*

I simply AM

As you may be

If you choose

The Heaven Here and Now

Of no attachment,

No busyness

No egoic mind

No power to act at all.

And that is the greatest power of all — 

Power over fear,

Power over desire,

Power over death.

*

Come, Follow me

Without steps.

Trust me,

Without knowledge.

Believe in me

Without words.

*

Feel the depth

of your own Eternal Cosmos

and do not ask for Me to come

to act,

to speak,

for I AM asking you to

Live in Me Now.

Know Me Now,

Moving in you,

like a whispering wind

In the Silence

of this perfect world

that you and I create together,

Here.

Now.

Where I AM

in you.
