Here at the beginning of the day.
At the beginning of life. 
At the beginning of creation. 

Can I become very relaxed and much more transparent? 
Am I willing to relax the hardened shell I have created around myself, 
and receive the great forces of love and goodness 
which are offered here and now,
and deliver themselves unto my sensation 
as a grace and a blessing? 

I am here now, rooted in the gift of life on this planet. 
I see the way in which I am obedient to law. 
And for even that simple thing, I begin to feel gratitude. 

For as the energy flows into being, 
it brings with it 
all the care and love the world can offer. 
To find its place to rest and bind with being itself 

so that it can become more concentrated in attention. 
More concentrated in awareness. 
More concentrated in conscious being. 

So that it can become more concentrated and become available, 
not as a passive force in the thinking, 
but as an active one that stimulates the sensation and the feeling, 

so that all of my parts are called to conform, 
not just to the laws of gravity and magnetism, 
but the great laws of love and mercy and compassion. 

For now, I am more aware of these forces and more aligned with them. 
But I wish for my attention to help weld them into my being, 
so that we do not separate from one another so easily, 
myself, and love and mercy and compassion. 

For when I separate from them, 
I become alone. 

So my wish is to be in relationship to these energies, 
to be transparent and open to their arrival, 
and to allow them to do this work 
which they already know how to do without my interference. 

By becoming transparent in this way, 
I become an active assistant in the flow of goodness into being. 
And without this assistance on behalf of goodness, it cannot become 

the active force in life 
which is needed here on this planet.
