When you
want to lay yourself open for the divine,
like a snare that is hollowed out
to its depth,
like a canopy that projects a shadow
from the divine heat
and light
into your soul,
then go into your inner place physically,or
to that story or symbol that reminds you of the sacred.Close the door of your
awareness to
the public person you think yourself to be.
Pray to the
parent of creation, with your inner sense,
the outer senses turned
within.
Veiling yourself, the mystery may be unveiled through
you.By opening yourself to the flow
of the sacred,
somewhere, resounding in some inner form,
the swell of the
divine ocean can move through you.The breathing life of all
reveals itself
in the way you live your life.
