In the realm of the spirit everything is heard, acknowledged, and noticed. In God’s world nothing absolutely nothing goes unnoticed. It is hard to imagine such an experience. We inhabit a limited physical experience where we filter out a great deal. In order to rely on our mind’s we find it necessary to exclude certain awareness. This is a practice required for survival. This is a sacred practice as it preserves our lives and our existence in the physical sense. The spiritual reality is that we are a channel, a venue, and portal for spirit. The bodies and things that we claim as solid are not as solid as we rely on them to be. Everything is energy and everything is constantly changing. Scientists each day are discovering more and more how what we understand to be a solid experience even has fluctuations. To be present to everything would be to be God. It would break the barriers of our capacity in this human form, but slowly we can begin to attune ourselves to that which is more than just what can be grasped at physically. You notice it when there is a lightness in the air as you come across a friendly face. You sense it when there is danger. You feel it in the wind and the whispering of the willows. It is written about in music and poetry, drawn in paintings, danced in ballet shoes, felt in warm hugs, seen in smiles, and echoed in sacred temples and churches. It is all the presence of spirit all around us. The key is that this same experience is within us. It does not just exist out there. We do not need to go somewhere, see someone, or be something different. God calls us to go within and listen. Listen to our hearts. Be open to how we are channeling the spirit of love. This morning as my day quickly derailed into a bunch of mishaps I could hear God saying listen. “Where are you rushing to? What or whose expectation are you trying to meet? Be with me.” I danced in and out of that and am at this moment still grappling with fully surrendering. I recognized as it started (after I expressed not so nicely to God that what was happening was not what I wanted!–picture a child stomping her feet), that this was an opportunity that I was being given to pay attention and listen. As I was eating breakfast I noticed and listened to the birds singing outside my window. I wondered how long it had been since I listened to the beautiful melody that for all I know was God’s way of singing to me “good morning my daughter.” That was a moment where I danced in. Then I got off the floor again when I was driving (I don’t recommend this as it makes traffic that much more unbearable). 🙂 Maybe this whole day will be me off and on the dance floor but I hope that I am willing to at least keep listening even when I step off the floor. I have no words of wisdom, but my prayer for us today is in those in between moments, we listen to hear God say, “Be with Me.” Make it a great one! Peace~Colleen
