A conscious force is needed

The search for a path through life

In this moment, I am one very tiny particle 
Participating actively in the life of the entire cosmos.

The life of the universe is present here in me, in every particle.
And the deeper my sensation becomes,
The more lovingly intimate I become with it.
The more I sense the active force of consciousness as a cosmological entity.

A force of being which is resident here,
Penetrating every cell and molecule in my body.

And in sensing my tiny nothingness.
I become whole within this force of absolute goodness.

I become whole in such a way that the force of goodness 
Begins to concentrate more exactly in me, 
With more clarity.

And in my heart and my soul,
I see that no matter how difficult things become outwardly,

It is my duty to go against evil
And to bring this force of goodness to each moment.

To live and dwell within being.
To offer thanks for the opportunity to be.

The stillness becomes deeper,
And words from a language that has no words.
Well up in me and fill me with grace and truth.

And for this, I also give thanks, 
Even though grace is overwhelming and truth is difficult.

Here in this stillness, Love is already present.
As the greatest of all graces flowing into being 
Flowing into this body to concentrate itself 
So that Love can be made known inwardly 

Until I am so full of it that it flows over 
And must flow outwardly back into the world.

This is a gentle process.

And this point where Love turns around and flows over the edge of the cup
And passes back into the world 
Is the point where consciousness can become alive,
Where it can participate through suffering alone 
To bring Love back into the world as a conscious force.

This conscious force is much needed now.

I turn to my sensation to help it concentrate itself 
So that today I can bring not hatred,
But Love to others around me.
