I Have Begun...

 

I have begun a practice 

of "inviting the higher in" throughout my day. 

Something simple, 

like the striking of two stones together. 

No words, no pleas, just a simple invitation. 

It feels right to me somehow at this point, 

to begin to perceive my life 

as permeated with Divine presence, 

through just that simple act, repeated. 

I realized recently 

that I wait so often 

until I have reached 

a crisis to reach upward (or inward) 

for that Divine help, 

and always it is so powerful, 

the response. 

But this is different, 

more like an acknowledgement 

that the higher walks alongside me always, 

if only I will see it, 

feel it, 

access it/HIM/HER.
