Sacred Journey

I felt in need of a great pilgrimage
so I sat for three
days
and God
came to me.

Poem by Kabir, from Mala of the Heart, 108 Sacred Poems, Ravi Nathwani and Kate Vogt

We so often search for answers and meaning in the doing-ness of life. One more book to read, class to take, workshop to participate in, lecture to attend and retreat to go on. I recognize the urge rising in me to figure it out, find an answer, make a decision or know with certainty in which direction I should be moving. Sound familiar?

The great wisdom in this poem requires little elaboration. Be still, allow, let go, release, trust. The power and wisdom and joy, that is the God of your being, will rise up in you and guide you and fill you.

What more could you possibly need?

Much love
