self can’t stop self from being self

Resting in an afternoon pause.

I call upon the LOVE, the WISDOM, the INSPIRATION, the PEACE that

I have come to know and trust. This Inner Sacred Heart. 

Not a mere idea or thought to be debated and argued about, but rather a Living Presence,

palpable, tangible, and real, right here, right now.

In a pause, I say with Loving Presence,

“I give myself to you, Love. Take care of everything.”

Floating into my mind I see an image of a cup 

that simply can’t hold anymore.

My cup is full. My cup is gushing.

Gushing with to-do, adding judgments, full of self.

Overflowing with nothing.

In a pause, I say with Wisdom Presence,

“I give myself to you, Wisdom. Take care of everything.”

Now, I see the cup of the mind of the self,

a cup overflowing.

I watch self spill out more of itself, over the rim it goes.

Again, I pause, saying with INSPIRATION,

“I give myself to you, Inspiration. Take care of everything.”

Without my effort

little by little this cup of stuff is lifted up and disappears.

I rest in an unburdened rest, lighter, freer. 

In this rest, the self feels empty because its cup has been emptied,

so it begins to fill it ~ again;

self can’t stop self from being self. 

Uncomfortable with the empty cup,

worried it might lose its cup, it might be taken away.

Again, I pause, saying with Inner Sacred Heart,

“Continue to empty my cup all throughout the day,

thus providing Another Way.”

Thank you, Peace for taking care of everything.
