Music is on from Cryosleep
Prayer from Today with the help of Sacred Gateway
Taking note of "the Presence of God" - the surrounding cars are a little noisy - busy people rushing from one place to another - in a house alone - had a cup of water ... my thirst is quenched.
Moving to some level of "Freedom" ... the noise level is coming down. I'm more a ware and yet less bothered. I'm entering a state of being where I'm more ready to listen.
Now it's just in a mode of "Consciousness" where I can feel calmer - less burdened somehow ... perhaps the nap (which I didn't plan) allowed physical stress to just be released. My head is lighter ... feel less entangled within ... more space?
the "Word" is before me ... I slow down a little more. Mathew 20:20-28.
"What do you want?"
"You do not know what you are asking ..."
I sit before my Lord ... and we enter "Conversation"
"I seem to have some ideas what do I want? but do I know what am I asking for? In the midst of wanting, I expose my desires and motivations, some noble others unsure, perhaps there are some self-centred, sinful ... You show me the cup we are to drink .... I re-examine what I want ... and what is REALLY before me..."
I step into a transition under the title "Conclusion". A conclusion for now this moment where I pause, ponder and pray ... entering a moment of contemplation is a moment of grace ... and yet, life here and now steps back into the dusty roads I'll be driving on in a little while ... and the grace is not left behind ... the presence has not evaporated ...
