HELLO to fragmentation. Clarity in the abyss of struggle, demands, and chaos finally, named. A mosaic of multiple opportunities for light to burst through, beauty in transparency and the diminishing of known self to the majestic Divine. Hello to the scattering, the pulling, not knowing and still known. I greet you today as I unravel in mystery and light.

Growing into oneness as Jesus prayed, is quite a ride. I love the infinite breadth that never is ended. I am on a journey of awe.

In the stillness, we hear.

"Today I’m flying low and I’m
not saying a word
I’m letting all the voodoos of ambition sleep.

The world goes on as it must,
the bees in the garden rumbling a little,
the fish leaping, the gnats getting eaten.
And so forth.

Quiet as a feather.
I hardly move though really I’m traveling
a terrific distance.

Stillness. One of the doors
into the temple."
Mary Oliver - A Thousand Mornings, 2012.
