warmly,

Lee

No matter what happens,
I can remain positive from within myself 
As long as I am connected to the energy
That forms Being.

This energy is already present in me now, right here in this moment.
And if I don't sense it, it's not because I don't have life and Being.
I do.

Life and Being flow into this body, 
Which is a vessel that receives its truth and its goodness in every moment, 
Whether I'm aware of it or not.

I've fallen asleep to it, 
But I can awaken from within 
And come back to a more intimate contact
With this force of beauty and life that flows into being at every moment.

It does not just flow in to this Being of my own,
This awareness of my own,
But it flows into everything at all times, everywhere,
And gives rise to creation through its immediate presence.
This presence is a living thing, an awareness that permeates everything.

I'm just a more focused part of it.

And so, as I breathe in,
I gather the stillness within myself 
In the hopes of becoming more intimate with my own life,

Acknowledging my sensation and my being 
As not just friends that support me,
But as lovers that make me what I am from the beginning 
Here in the empty root of my mind 
Where creation begins.

Emptiness is not empty.
But it is always filled with the love of God,
Which sounds a great note of affirmation throughout the cosmos.

I am invited to align every molecule in my body
So that I am harmonically connected to that great note of Being.
And sing with it here in this moment.

Sing with glory.
Sing with goodness.
Sing with the determination to go forward into life
With love today as best I am able.

I wish to gather this love and goodness together within my being 
And bring it forth to the world in joy.
