In the Guise of Every Moment

"The way out is in." ~ Thich Nhat Hanh

Beloved One, help me
to Be Love, At One 
with Your Own Heart.
Show me The Way
to settle into The Soft
Center of Soul;
Where I may know,
perceive, and receive
Your Presence more readily;
and more steadily walk
the Path You unfold before me.
In serenity or surprise, 
may I adore Thee 
in the Guise of Every Moment;
grateful for the Gift of This Life. 

Along with the present tumult and uncertainty in the world-at-large, I have been experiencing considerable personal upheaval over the last few months. Having finally been hired and begun training for a new job this week, and with the generous hospitality of dear friends, for the first time in a while I could feel the quieter recesses of my soul beckoning as I walked this morning; reminding me that while I have been busy trying to "figure it all out", and uncharacteristically anxious in the midst of the shadowy unknowns and rascally what-ifs, the Great Love which supersedes all work and worry has been patiently waiting for me to come Home to the Hearth Within. While there is still much to sort out, or to fall into place~whatever the case may be, even to sense a whisper of invitation back to the soft, sacred center feels like a gift of relief. I hope to have the awareness, courage, strength, and faith to heed the whisper and seek to settle in, at least a little, as Soul and Season continue to call. 
Deep Peace and Gentlest Blessings to All,
