But Only This Prayer

 But only this prayer: 

to just go deeper, even further into miracles, and wishing only continued healing for this year. This isn't a resolution, nor even an intention, both terms seem to offer to much force for what's implied here. The last few years have often felt devastating in the loss they've offered. Yet in review I see how miracles have unfolded, with each loss and every down point being pivotal to the direction that I've turned, closer to a true forgiveness, kinder and more compassionate in my response. 

not perfect, but aware.

and that's the miracle, a shifting perception, seeing how reality is always the underlying expression of love in every situation and that only my thoughts of being alone and scared tell me otherwise. As I turn more often towards the presence of love I see that, indeed, the scripts been written and that everything is happening in perfect opportunity to being forgiven. This past year I've chosen love more often, forgiven quicker, and relied on miracles to guide me through some dark moments. No, not always easy, but always rewarding in the peace that's been found. As the year ends, at the vantage point of its review - I see so much grace present, a smile from the Holy Spirit offering comfort at every moment, and a plan playing through - this year has been perfect, with just the right lessons given. I don't have a resolution for this upcoming year, no goals, but only this prayer...

We trust our ways to Him and say “Amen.” ²In peace we will continue in His way, and trust all things to Him. ³In confidence we wait His answers, as we ask His Will in everything we do. ⁴He loves God’s Son as we would love him. ⁵And He teaches us how to behold him through His eyes, and love him as He does. ⁶You do not walk alone. ⁷God’s angels hover near and all about. ⁸His Love surrounds you, and of this be sure; that I will never leave you comfortless. (ACIM, W-ep.6:1-8)

A Quiet Faith

A quiet faith: 

this last year has seemed most pivotal, key figures gone, financial concerns growing, and a great deal of chaos regarding my creative concerns. And yet I'm closing out this mid-decade with a quiet faith growing, trusting that only the valueless has shifted, and that I'm reaching now, finally, my own special function for the salvation of the world. This isn't quite as grandiose as it sounds. We all have a special function to perform, and we're here to serve in the awakening of each other. Right now I feel like a facilitator, a bridge between voice and ears for just the right people. It's a wonderful feeling to know I'm serving in some small way for someone's healing, that perhaps at their most loneliest moment a person might stumble upon words offered by a guest on my channel and feel just a glimmer of the same hope I feel right now. Of course I have no way of knowing, but it's enough to just offer this possibility to the world. 

and for this,

I am forever grateful.

Overlook

Overlook: 

Chapter 9 of A Course in Miracles tells us the secret, directly so, and it's marvelously freeing, blissful really, even as it causes us such a great deal of distress. Here's the directive, simple in both language and decree - to forgive is to overlook. That's it, five words to freedom and it's the very last thing we ever want to do. Jesus tells us in the Course that we perceive sin over error, preferring our stories of maliciousness and attack instead of the truth of who we are. And that's the crux, our projections laid bare, our own judgement's imprison us behind bars of perception. 

we don't want to be free...we want to be right.

yet Jesus says, 

accept as true only what your brother is, if you would know yourself. 

and so we overlook perception to see reality, escaping from a small darkened room to a light-filled to rediscover the beauty of the natural world. This isn't bypassing any hurt or harm caused by another, it's not overlooking the need for our own safety - it's forgiveness for our salvation. While we overlook the sins of the body in order to experience the freedom of reality, our true sense of being pure and sinless, we also honor the place we find ourselves in our perception. The Holy Spirit meets us where we are at every moment, making no demands, and never asking us to be in harms way. We're only ever asked for just a little willingness to see with Christ's vision...

letting go of every story,

to overlook,

and truly know the beauty of the world.

that's our salvation. 

right now.

exactly where we are.

Arriving Home

Arriving home: 

at this point in my life I'm finally feeling directed, that a near lifetime of forgiveness has led me here, and that the remaining blocks to love's awareness are beginning to be seen through. I'm hesitant to call it anything other than arriving home, yes, still on the journey, but the destination is clear. A large part of this has been allowing the Holy Spirit to do it's job, re-purposing my every stumble and those life events that have laid me bare with sorrow. This last year has been one of pivoting, turning points, allowing myself to pause and truly hear my inner guidance. As it draws to a close, another year so close at hand, I give thanks to this holy presence...trusting in this new direction.

Only Love

Only love:  

of course there's no way I could have anticipated the changes this year brought, with profound loss, chaotic events, and the fear that this all produced. But I am grateful that I've had the tools to navigate these situations, namely forgiveness, finding myself steeped in this practice now, and able to turn more willingly and quickly towards the choice of peace. With every seeming loss there came a pivot, maybe not always immediately, but in an intuitive fashion, feeling my way through the currents and trusting that the waters would eventually calm. Forgiveness was what kept me afloat, practiced in the sense that yes, there is loss present, heartache even, yet ultimately, even at my deepest point of pain...

only love was ever present.

and this,

I never doubted.

This Holy Instant

This holy instant: 

if done by calendar year the workbook of A Course in Miracles will soon bring us to the extension of this holy instant, giving us a conclusion, as well as clear steps forward. Our purpose is defined now, assured, and it couldn't be more simple - our life is given to the Holy Spirit, guided by this grace, and it begins when we offer ourselves fully to this present moment. With no clinging to the past, nor thoughts projected upon tomorrow...

this holy instant we would give to You.

thy will be done. 

amen.
