console yourself,
for your separation from God
is the hardest work there is..
Hafiz
ONE AND THE SAME
Veiled from my own radiance
I continue to play
this game of hide and seek with God and with myself
As if we are separate.
Is it too much to want,
a true and sustainable peace with myself?
Pray once a day with words,
Pray with hands that work,
Pray from your heart
As you tend to what is growing
In the rich uncertain soil of your soul.
Pray softly like morning dew on grass,
Open like a sacred playground.
Let others swing on you,
Teeter-totter,
Wrestle in your sandbox.
Become what ever is necessary,
Be all things to all people,
Expand beyond the limits
Of your disbeliefs,
Imagine,
Imagine God,
Imagine God and You
Are One and the Same.
