Love within Being

I begin immediately within stillness.

Everything within has stopped turning for a moment.
I can come here now to where I am 
And be nowhere else 
In my mind,
In my thought,
In my body,
In my feeling.

I am nowhere else but here.

And I enter this life here and now as a newborn 
Born into this life which is freely given in this moment 
From a place I do not know and cannot see or measure 
And I settle in to the organic truth of this body
To the truth of the cells, 
Of the molecules and the atoms.

And I allow their wholeness of Being to inform me in such a way 
That their gravity and their magnetism 
Shows me we are one together.

One being that rests in stillness, 
That exists before the thinking interferes.

And I work to help a relaxation spread more deeply
Within these fine substances of Being 
So that the strength and the tension of the magnetism that holds them together 
Lets go for a moment 
In such a way that the body itself remembers 
That trust draws us here together 
And that even without effort,
Wholeness still remains here within 
As a gift and a blessing 
And a truth that is without equal and beyond comprehension 

And I draw my breath into the lower part of my body 
Through the diaphragm and the lungs 
And I sense the magnetic force of Being as it arouses a feeling.

And that feeling is a simple one, which says, 
Lord, have mercy.

And this simple truth flows like a nectar through the whole body.

And once again, with the whole of the body and every molecule in it, 

I say, Lord, have mercy.

And the feeling grows ever greater from the base of the spine 
Flowing into the legs and the hands and the arms 
And flowing upward through the torso towards the heart

And with the whole of the body and all of my thought and my mind
I say, Lord, have mercy for a third time,
Allowing the very fine material of this one phrase 
To spread through my entire body as a feeling.

I am here
In glory and in goodness and in truth.

And here where I am, 
I am a little bit closer to the root of love.

Love within being.
