I turn inward;
I listen to wisdom beyond words.

~A thought of awakening

There is a desire to avoid stillness,
and there is the lovely music of stillness too.
Which one do I choose today?

~A thought of awakening

I listen Within,
although I may hear no sound.
No words. No form.
There is music in stillness.

~A thought of awakening

I remove the obstacles
that I have placed
before God’s open doorway.

~A thought of awakening

I am grateful for seeing my errors.
I choose to relinquish them now.

~A thought of awakening

The Heart is beyond words.
It is real,
and its meaning is reality.

~A thought of awakening

I vow to listen
to my devoted Heart.

~A thought of awakening

I vow to be devoted
to my devoted Heart.

~A thought of awakening

I pray for the fulfillment
of my true desire.
I understand the answer
must come from grace.

I cannot make for myself
that which I am.
I cannot think it
into my experience.

And so I pray for the fulfillment
of my true desire,
knowing that grace is received
through absolute surrender.

Amen.

~A prayer of awakening

The individual self is strong
when the individual self has been given
attention.

I take this attention away
and place it on the Heart,
yet the individual self remains loud
because I have given it attention.

I can rest now
and wait
while the attention I have given
dies away.

When all that I have given
has run its course,
the individual self
will not seem strong.

I wait in patient knowing,
knowing who I am.

Amen.
