A DAILY COMMUNION
Remembering God, abiding in the divine, and centering as our essential nature is a daily call. In this distracting and dramatic world, it is easy to forget and lose your ground.
For me this poetry itself has become my daily communion. Do I need it? No. Do I love it? Yes, with all my heart. I love it because it has become as natural and refreshing as my morning ablutions. I don’t need it to remember who I really am or what is most important; I love it because this prayer and devotion is not born of need but of the beauty of love’s grace.
If I could offer you one thing it would be this: find or create a daily way of communing with your deepest longing. Writing, playing music, praying, meditating (without too much force), dancing, sitting in nature with trees, being present with an animal or just sitting quietly in contemplation, all these are beautiful ways of returning to beingness.
We return again and again until we become.
Here is my communion.
Your goodness And tenderness To all living beings Including yourself Is a communion With the sacred. -------------------- The world Flows through The one Who is open And quiet. -------------------- The art is not just to know grace But to live as grace To carry the self As thought it were As light as a feather And to be transcendent And immanent At the same time. ------------------- The ego Is a courtroom Filled with judgment And prosecution And you don’t belong In that place Put down your weapons And leave the courthouse Dance into the freedom That calls your true name. ---------------------- It’s more important than ever To clean the dust from your eyes And see ever deeper From that renewed perspective. --------------------- Confidence is of the self The willingness to walk through fire Is of the soul. ------------------- With kindness to all life Deeply embedded in your heart Life’s intelligence will guide you It may not be easy But it will always be true. -------------------- What is hidden and suppressed within us Manifests in ways we can't see The shadow has great power. ---------------------- After all these years Of giving yourself To the world Whether good years or bad years Whether successful or a failure Transform and start giving yourself To the vast inner world To the mesmerizing beauty Beyond this world Lift the veil Again and again Until the mystery Is all you see. ------------------------ I was like an iceberg In a cold sea Eventually grace Pulled me Into the warm ocean And I melted As I softened And dissolved into union. ----------------------- The uniqueness of your character Will shine brighter When you drop attachment To who you are And fall into the openness Of your being.
