All Wholeness, All Holiness
Beloved Light of the universe, thank you for shining in me, and in all I meet.
Thank you for lighting the way before me, through the darkest nights of the year. Thank you for warming me from within, for brightening my heart, for lightening my spirits, for lifting me up into gladness and gratitude and good humor. Thank you for finding my way forward.
As I walk through this passageway before me, hopefulness and helpfulness are walking beside me. I am never alone. I walk in the stillness, in the quiet, in the hushed and sacred silence. And where my feet carry me, I feel the rhythm of the earth and the sky, the mountains and the valleys, the birds and all beings, resonating in and with and as that stillness.
The stillness is all-revealing. The stillness lights my way on. The stillness guides me. From beneath a sacred blanket of snow, the stillness rests and waits and bides its time. In a shining field of blooming daffodils, the stillness shares its song. In all times and all lands, the stillness may be heard between words, in the space between every heartbeat, every moment, every breath.
The stillness guides and protects, heals and inspires, governs and illumines. The stillness makes possible all sound, shares all light, purifies all hearts, clarifies all consciousness. The stillness brings me home in meditation, and then brings me home everywhere.
As I listen to that stillness and walk the passageway before me, my shoulders feel free and unburdened. I have let go of what has been heavy within me. I stride forward, lighter and more easily, steady and kind and strong and glad, present to what I am walking through, to my own tender heart, to the sweet aspirations of all beings, to the hopes and the fears and the dramas and the dreams that I have been sharing with my human brothers and sisters until I remember: All hopes and fears, all dramas and dreams, arise from the one Light, reflect the one Light, come back to the one Light. And, I am free to enjoy the whole kaleidoscope of shifting colors and shapes and sounds and sights, dancing with the universal light that makes it all possible, honoring the oneness that underlies all, adoring the beloved Light of the universe.
As I remember the eternal, my hopes and fears, my dramas and dreams, melt into light. Heaviness vanishes. Trouble and pain fall away. Faith walks forward freely. The very Earth appears new, sacred pathways branching out before us, inviting us onward, blessed to be remembered in wholeness, as we are blessed to remember and be remembered, whole and holy.
All wholeness, all holiness, beloved Lord of Light, all wholeness and holiness is thine; may your infinite embrace melt me into the sacred light, so that I see everywhere your pathway, I know everywhere your peace, I live everywhere your truth and good humor and generosity and gladness, I dance forward now and always in the light of oneness and unconditional love. Aum Shanti Shanti Shanti, Amen.
