This Week...

 

Christ in the House of His Parents by John Everett Millais



This week I made an aim to notice and accept 
"What is" whether inside or outside of me, 
but at the same time to make every effort 
to ask for higher help. 
In these last weeks, 
I felt like each cell, "inside and out", 
as if a piece of a mosaic, 
vibrating and separate from one another - 
but with a desire to come together, 
like magnets drawn, 
pulled by an invisible energy 
existing between them, the spaces. 
Each moment of self-remembering, 
presence, making that "Space" alive -
as this boy is making the space alive 
around him with his gift of a voice.

Forgiveness...





"Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds 
on the heel that has crushed it."

I'm On The Phone...

 



I’m on the phone in my car 
parked across from a white fence, 
experiencing what reflected light 
I can see through the gray clouds. 
I meditate on the warmth it brings. 
The warmth of the soul is there too, 
and I close my eyes. 
In a moment I feel something on my leg. 
It’s like a gentle touch as I sense warming. 
Then I open my eyes 
to see the sun peeked through the clouds 
and was shining on my 
thigh for just a moment.

Gurdjieff's formula: Hope, Faith, and Love

Gurdjieff shares a formula with us: 
Hope, Faith, and Love.


Hope in consciousness

Faith in consciousness

Love of consciousness


Hope in consciousness means 
recognizing that it is always 
available now, not in the future. 
We always have a chance to work, 
and it is here for us.

Faith in consciousness is beginning 
to trust that everything one 
experiences comes from the Absolute.

Love of consciousness is the state 
of being we grow into as we start to 
hold all and everything.

While We Are...

 



While we are in this body 
we can go up and down the cathedral, 
even to the tower 
where we might experience for a moment this Freedom. 
So strange that we can travel through these worlds. 
It doesn't make any sense without the light inside, 
the light inside illuminating - 
searching for the great Light.
