Contemplation…

I don’t pray like a Christian… I don’t meditate like a Buddhist or Hindi… I wake up… and practice stillness… not silence… not emptiness… just… stillness…. then gratitude… then the journey where I let the images and thoughts come as they will… eventually there is the purging of the pain… the letting go and the healing… more gratitude… and then the wishing… this is what the word “prayer” really means: asking… this is where desire is acknowledged and I float in and out of wanting and releasing… wanting but not being attached to specifics… wanting but not holding on to expectations… embracing fluidity… and then more gratitude… this morning I acknowledge all that I have to give and all that I will receive… I wish for blessings for all of you as well… hold yourself as worthy today… it is beautiful in its beginning.
