honeypig

I make the effort
to maintain a ground of oceanic silence
out of which arises the multitude
of phenomena of daily life.

I make the effort
to see and to passionately open in love
to the spirit that infuses all things.

I make the effort
to see the Beloved in everyone
and to serve the Beloved through everyone
(including the earth).

I often fail in these aspirations
because I lose the balance
between separateness and unity,
get lost in my separateness,
and feel afraid.

But I make the effort.

Honeypig, thinking of you again today.

How have you been doing?

I'm doing OK, Mango, thanks for asking! Having some turbulent times at work, likely will be changing jobs at some point in the near future, and am so very grateful for all I've learned in recovery. It's standing me in good stead now, really helping me keep my feet on the ground and have faith that whatever happens, things will turn out for the best.

I'm sorry to hear you've been going through so much turmoil at work, hp!

Prayers for all things to work out for your good!!
