Shifting the Center

It takes courage to pray or meditate. 
Not only in what you might find, but in what might not be there.

There is a lonely bridge to cross from consciousness to Presence. 
A letting go, losing one's bearing, shifting the center from "I" to "Am", then merging as One.

There's Something in Breath

There's something in breath that teaches belonging.
There's something in the morning dew that teaches connections.
There's something in an animal's allegiance that teaches love.
There's something in the trees that teaches dignity.

Each moment has a fullness about it.
   It is I who separates its being....
       And in that separation comes beauty and despair, joy and emptiness, fear and knowing.

Life is extraordinarily simple.  Excruciatingly wonder-ful.
