A BLESSING FOR THE INWARD WAY
Tracy Shaw
May you learn to dwell
Below the surface of the days
At home with the ebb and flow of
Your own heart’s tides.
May you find the womb space at the center of your Life,
There grow wise in the sacred rhythm
Of filling and emptying,
Emptying and filling.
There, held safe,
May you surrender to the unknown
As completely as the dark moon
Empties herself into the secret embrace of her Beloved, the Sun.
There may you cherish hope of renewal
As tenderly as the crescent moon
Cradles the dark in the curve of her arm,
Enfolding, quickening with life new born.
And may you always open to the flow of love
As voluptuously as the moon at full,
Until filled, overflowing, you pour
Love’s gifts out into the world.
So may you grow ever more intimate With the inward way, the deepening way, Where filling is emptying, emptying is filling ~ At one with the mystery, at one.
As we come to the end of Week 2 this week, we are growing ever more "intimate with that inward way."
May your journey through this Advent and beyond bring you "at one with the mystery" which begins with God's gift of all-embracing Love:
“For God so loved the world..."
