Beneath the passion play of human existence,
exists nature, the natural, God’s world,
the simple order. It is often easy to confuse
our constant state of human eruption with
what came first. When we settle down, rest,
meditate, dream, space out, pray - we can
reconnect with and join this order once more,
realizing we, too, are part of this simple order.
This morning, as I prepared for meditation,
I opened my journal to the note below.
As I read it, I felt a sense of calm, peace,
and I wanted to share it with all who might
benefit from a pause in this life's hubbub.
A SIMPLE ORDER
Tangible life erupts in mysterious ways,
like a fire at the end of a long evening,
a flash here, a spark there, a burst
of blue light ignites only to be snuffed
out by a gentle wind, lost in the embers
of its magnificence.
We live in discrete but connected
particles of consciousness, moments
always quietly present, simple, silent
reflections of our inner state of peace.
Reflect on the moment that surrounds you –
a slender song of opulent life calmly being –
no rush – no impatience, just a simple order.
No need for doing – just enjoyable reflection –
life turning at its own pace – enjoin
its presence – its nowness – listen
to its breath, listen to it sing, it calls you
to its place – its God-given existence –
no harm – no foul – just the simple glow
and the hum of life eternal - being.
