happy astonishing light of being day!  falling on a day of cold rain, still i feel the field of radiant sun love in this re-TREAT weekend of being with my wildly exuberant, enthusiasm on steroids grandpuppy whose love lights the whole sky just as yours does… thousandfold thanks to all relatives for the radiance of  your presence, for this moment of puppy consciousness, pure presence, of re-joy-sing in the gift of the ever turning life cycle of the birth – death – rebirth mystery present in every breath…

For Presence

Awaken to the mystery of being here
and enter the quiet immensity of your own presence.

Have joy and peace in the temple of your senses.

Receive encouragement when new frontiers beckon.

Respond to the call of your gift and the courage to
follow its path.

Let the flame of anger free you of all falsity.

May warmth of heart keep your presence aflame.

May anxiety never linger about you.

May your outer dignity mirror an inner dignity of
soul.

Take time to celebrate the quiet miracles that seek
no attention.

Be consoled in the secret symmetry of your soul.

May you experience each day as a sacred gift woven
around the heart of wonder.

~ John O’Donohue ~

thanks be for the radiance of the central sun always shining…
