The Stained Glass...

The stained glass is amazing. 

It is like a map of our work

that when we can hold it in all our centers

our path makes sense and is easier to trust. 

The body (essence) is the lowest part of stained glass, 

the material. 

The middle is the soul where we have the potential to grow. 

There is a conception point

where the material is touched by the spirit. 

The rings around the soul

are our possibilities here caught in matter

but much more. 

We are in a hard place, 

 perhaps the hardest place. 

But perhaps this the only place for us too.

The incorruptible spirit

is the blue flame above - 

the electronic world. 

When I can feel all this in my quietest place, 

my inner journey makes sense. 

As a growing soul, 

I have to be open to the higher world

and the lower ordinary world. 

As a can needs two opening points

for it's liquid contents to pour out steadily, 

we have to have both doors open for a current to flow. 

And amazing that when we are deeply connected to this

we can feel this current move through us. 

And I feel it as joy, 

gratitude, harmony, 

grace, love.
