I think it is quite natural to grow quieter
and to live in a kind of peace
in these later years
when we truly come to know
the companioning Beloved
appearing and disappearing
in moments of beauty
ever inventive and creative
as relationships that are truly alive
seem to be
Our energy can rise and fall
but that which sustains our inner life
flows with a lightness
and grace of being
and is constantly creating
I am deeply involved
and feel a wonderful belonging
to the Beloved
to God Alone in the sense
that Everything is God to me
there is nothing that exists that is real to me
except for that which carries that glow
..the rest is illusion..
..simply an identity we build for ourselves..
in the world
…making a name for who we are…
..and yet..
even that is part of the journey
Deep down….I know
that the “Presence is in all life”
….but many are not aware
or consistently aware enough to know how that feels
or how to commune with it
…or to sacrifice the life..
they are more familiar with……and would like to control
I am sort of a hearth
…of home…
……a living stone………
…where one can touch base and go on about their life…
..a promise of love and acceptance…
….a heart that sees the inner beauty of the soul…
…..here if they desire to make a connection…
…and here if they don’t…
…..alone with God as the Beloved….
..the Lord is my Shepherd..
…there is nothing I shall want..
We sort of create the life we want
.. choice by choice by choice..
..moment by moment..
