Today is the Day

Words always compromise the experience we’re having. But we try anyway.Image result for inauguration day
What is being present: now, today? What is being aware, awake, fully alive? How do you experience it? What does all this mean in difficult times anyway?

TODAY’S THE DAY

Cheers erupt
in triumph.
Tears fall
in disappointment.
Fears hover in the
shadow of what’s to come.

But I feel a place
of stillness, just
Spacious Stillness.

From here I know
love in action.
From here I know
it’s only in our
wandering off
that we forget

we’re connected.
Mirrors for each other,
loved by the very Universe
we’re scared of.
Loved beyond our possessions,
successes, our failures.

Hell is not being crucified!
Jesus died in love,
connecting and forgiving.
He died showing us
how to live…
no matter what…

It’s all about the Love
you are, the Love that you can share.
the Love that’s beyond understanding.

Peace!

    Your soul is on fire, Sister!!!! I got cold chills all over my body as I read these words of yours. I got them again when I read them the second time. We really are mirrors for each other and we have the love when we give it away without any expectations, just because we can and just because it is what we are. That place where you are, where you were when you received the powerful truth is The Place where we can each go any time, anywhere and receive, conceive, believe, retrieve. Jesus spoke it when he said I am the Great I AM and the peace that passes all understanding. The heart center is the place, isn’t it. Not the head. Way down deep inside the body where we are connected to God and all that is. All we really have is the Love we give away. God loves us even tho…

  3. I’m late to comment, but the beauty and veracity of your words are timeless. Yes, words compromise the experience … and, as you so gracefully show, they can also remind us. Thanks very much for the reminder … Love and hugs …
