A popular saying in my neighborhood goes something like “we get a daily reprieve based on our spiritual condition.”  Phew, just living with others can tax the patience.  Their moods, complaints, irritations and erratic behavior.  Then there is the loving affection, the laughter and deep conversations.

I need a daily connection, a constant conversation, with the Divine of me.  The Divine in me.  To remind me that I am connected to all.  That I am truly living as each one of those around me.  That I do not need to dive into another person’s angst–I have plenty of my own.  And that “getting over it” is not necessarily the goal of life.  Breathing through it might be a bit more appropriate.

Breathing into the Divine Me–the Dear One, the Sweet Lady, the Handsome Man inside me– sounds even better.  Let’s do that today.
