Stepping into the Mystery

Stop thinking.
Stand very still.
Breathe slowly.
Become intensely awake
and aware of your surroundings,
especially the way light and shadow constantly transform
the surfaces of the world.
Examine every little thing.

Now focus consciousness back on itself
and feel God breathing you,
becoming you,
becoming Creation.

Whisper your secret name for God,
and love rushes up from within,
ending
all confusion about why you’re here.
Enter Heaven here on Earth.

Stay awhile.
Wherever you are,
bathe in the enchanting mystery
of God’s conscious being.
