Create space for Grace

The other day I returned to my home to be.
A small room overlooking the valley below.
On this day I return home in search of quietude, peace, and integration.
To digest the lessons of the day, and to come home to what is called me.
I prepare the space by cleaning, sweeping...
Feet cleansed, face washed, feeling refreshed, the mind is at ease.
This moment is now ready for spiritual connection.

Always searching for a teacher...
today i return home.
the voice inside says with poise, "we must learn to cultivate our own practice according to where we are, what we know, and what we need. "
Know thyself, the great master speaks.
Determine what you are made of, and what you must cultivate.
Eliminate the negative thoughts and the negative actions will also disappear.
Find balance in your body, and you will encounter balance outside.

The clouds building, filling the sky.
Precipitation accumulates.
The birds sing songs of praises, calling my attention to thismoment.
The sky rumbles as the storm builds. Like the precipitation, my enthusiasm builds to take advantage of this time, this body, this life to dedicate myself to truth.

The rain gracefully falls from the sky, as these words stream out of mind, hand, pen, paper.
The silence engaged with writing, now i put the pen and paper aside and dedicate this moment to grace.

The breathe now will engage this silence as it softens the mind and lengthens the body.

Create space for grace.
