“Your longing for ME is my message to you,
All your attempts to reach ME,
Are in reality MY attempts to reach you.”
― Rumi
________________________________________________
union
the realm of the Sacred is about union
communion
intimacy
it is not about perfection
domination
power
when we make the way of God
a matter of being
in power
a matter of exercising power
we pervert the very nature of the sacred
with literalism
and legalism
with our desire to hug the power of love
to ourselves
we deny ourselves
and God
and become people who can neither receive
nor give
love
help us this day
O Loving One
to soften our hearts
help us to sink back into the embrace of grace
and let your love surround us
heal us
restore us
that we cease our striving
and in that ceasing
find our true home
