If the soul is willing
Of humble letting go
Found within each dawning
A gift for us to know
Between the dark and light
A glimpse of the divine
A treasure of the capture
To stir this soul of mine
Appearing in horizon
The Spirit shining bright
We present our being
To being of the light
The desire of mankind
Offered in the finding
To know the love of God
So easy is the binding
Between heaven and earth
In this moment here
The entrance to this calling
Is but a simple prayer
A step outside
Of horizon to see
Checked that off my list
On to my next duty
Engrossed in my work
With time flying by
When I caught a glimpse
Of a transforming sky
Had to get a picture
To share what God created
Couldn’t get it right
Feeling so frustrated
Now back to my list
In a big hurry
A whisper of gift blessed
Just slow down and be
A drawing of vision
God kept calling me to
Intensely beautiful
This glorious view
A reminder this day
Through this gift of seeing
Not a list of doing
But way of being
The most powerful prayer
Of worthy work, divine
When the outcome is
Of a quiet mind
The more powerful
The quieter the mind
More telling, the deeper
More perfect prayer we find
Lord, let our quiet mind
Be a canvas of being
With each living moment
God’s Presence of freeing
For to the quiet mind
We will come to see
Gifts of our Gods endless
Possibilities
Meister Eckhart | May 2018 (Vol. XXXI, No. 5)
The most powerful prayer, one well nigh omnipotent, and the worthiest work of all is the outcome of a quiet mind. The quieter the mind, the more powerful, the worthier, the deeper, the more telling and more perfect the prayer is. To the quiet mind all things are possible.
Go, go, do, do
There’s no time to wait
Accomplish this and that
No time to contemplate
Got to be productive
Keep yourself busy
Move onto the next thing
It’s so hard to be
Here’s a thought to offer
Truth within of seeing
Is God in the doing
Or is He in the being?
So, let us waste some time
In moment here to stay
Quiet now the soul
Do nothing here but pray
Listen in the silence
To a simple purpose of
To come and let our doing
Be flowing from His love
Blessed be the morning
Into soul of seeing
Sacredness is shared
In the mist of being
Holy filtered light
Of gentle colors shown
In witness of the moment
Is the known unknown
Easy be the letting
Surrendering of grace
Comfort of divine
Of welcoming embrace
Of Your Presence dwelling
From the forest deep
To rolling pastures green
Into my being seep
Stillness be the offer
Peace of binding be
Drawing into One
Of beloved unity
Every living being
Offers gratitude
Safe within the sharing
Its’ inner solitude
Gift within Your Presence
Of prayer to begin
Moving from the outside
To of the within
Closing of the eyes
Drifting to our place
From the noise to silence
Centering of grace
With a word to offer
Repeating nice and slow
Gentle be surrender
One of letting go
Dwelling of the deeper
Peace of Thee so freeing
One of only love
In blessedness of being
A beautiful moment
Of being right here
When dwelling within
Your Presence aware
No sight to see
Nothing to hear
No past or future
Just being of here
One of the letting
The Spirit of prayer
Of binding divine
Our being of here
To be of the moments
Of being right here
Blessed be the soul
Of being to share
