Priming the Pump

Farmers drill into aquifers for water.

To bring it up, they often need to “prime the pump,”

adding water to remove air 

blocking the pumping mechanism. 

So too with Spirit. 

A vast aquifer of divine consciousness 

waits beneath our public selves.

Seeking to awaken the experience of God, 

we dive into the sacred depths of being,

unite personal spirit with its source,

and prime the pump with the words,

 “I am God” 

until the sacred life-giving waters of 

love stream through us 

into the world.
