A Prayer a Day

09/26/10

It matters not if I wish to stop time..... for it is ceaseless.

Life wills on her own into the future.

I sometimes spend  far too many moments in my head re-living events of the past.

There are experiences seemingly impossible to dismiss from memory.

 I can still feel myself sitting outside my home as a seven year old , in Merrick Long Island... waiting endless hours for the arrival of a BIG plastic swimming pool for our back yard.

I remember each agonizing second... very far from patiently awaiting the arrival of the truck... sitting there on the  front steps in anticipation... excited and anxious to be swimming in a BIG pool ...to be  playfully laughing and exchanging splashes with my siblings.

That pool finally did come.

I think it was a weeks worth of little kid waiting.

 Back then it felt like a year.

Today from where I sit, a year feels like a splash

and a week feels less than a drop of water.

How strange our perceptions.

I pray my perception today be accurate ,

though the nature of perception can only

behold a mere piece of truth... if at all.

 Mind can only perceive fragments of truth.

Praying now...

Out of mind... into deep sight.... beyond the senses.

May I go inward toward greater awareness and spiritual sight

where time is not an issue and of matter ... I need not be of concern.

Floating with wings into a grace filled light spiral

past limited imagination... into the realm of the REAL.

Body calm.

Mind still.

Merging into wisdom.

Here I gather seeds for holy flowering

to live my time a lotus... blooming.

Deeply Respectful,

Rev. Mudra
