Within your heart there exists this chamber where only one dwells. This chamber is the sacred space that began your existence. It is the same space that exists in every living thing. It is the same experience that transcends the physical, emotional, and mental energy that we call life. It is God. The Infinite Intelligence of the Universe is present in all that is created. When we slow down long enough and get quiet past the noise of our minds we find a stillness in our breath and in our hearts. The stillness that almost feels like a void of nothing at first, lies the connection to the Great I AM that our hearts and spirits long to be connected with at all times. God created us out of love. God created us with love. God created us to be love for the world. This experience in the quiet is of true love. Mystics speak of it, theologians write about it, indigenous people dance to celebrate it. It is as close as our breath and as far away from us as our minds tell us it is. This essence calls to us in the quiet spaces and times with sometimes the quietest of voices that we cannot hear it over the clamoring of the world. It is an invitation to BE with LOVE. It took me a long time to be willing to sit still long enough to be reconnected with God. Over time that willingness to do whatever it took to strengthen that connection is what gave me the courage to show up for my dates with God each morning whether I wanted to or not, tired or not, loud head or quiet head. I simply said, Here I AM God, let it be enough that I AM Here with You. Each day it is enough. It is enough because when I AM is not enough God is always enough for the both of us. My prayer for us today is that we be willing (whether we want to or not) to be with God as we understand God and let that willingness expressed in action be enough. Make it a great one! Peace~Colleen
