Be still and know that I Am.  Allow the swirling waters of emotions, stories, drama to settle.  The waters will clear and the moon will be perfectly reflected in the pond.  Neither the pond nor the moon do anything for this gentle sweet beauty.

In this human adventure, swirling is a part of the Path.  Allow for swirls, She says.  Sometimes even BE a Dervish and let the swirl take you to Me.  In other moments sit by the pond and let the silence woo you.

What a practice, this rhythm.  Back and forth, harmonies and awkward notes in a symphony heard in a different dimension.  I miss the melody here and fall into feelings and fear so easily.  How to be present in the looming shadow of another change.

My prayer today:

Breathe in me the way to love You, so that I may faultlessly love You.  Pour me the wisdom wine that I may become intoxicated with You.  With Your silent eyes, just look at me and I will know where to find You.  Seek out the wandering senses and lead them back to Your sanctuary within.  Call back the marauding mind and counsel it how to retrace its steps to Your heart.  You can hide behind the ocean.  You can hide behind life.  You can hide behind duality.  You can hide behind fear.  You can hide behind theological conundrums and unanswered prayers.

But You cannot hide behind my love.  In the mirroring light of my love You are revealed.

(my favorite by Yogananda)

Breathing in You today.
