Once last night, I woke from the deep dark to silver slants of moonlight. Much darkness later, The real sunlight lightens the room and brightens the room, And its brilliance fills every corner. The light, Direct and reflected, Requires no sound. It comes in complete silence, The better to appreciate its spiritual source and force. Let your light in and reflect it back out, Here in this fullness of mind. Your body sits here, Quietly still, For the moment not moving. Quiet but alive, Still but functioning. Visit each part so that you activate the whole, Feet and legs, Waist and chest, Arms and hands, Neck and head. Open your five bodily senses, Plus intuition. As you tune up and tune in, Experience both the shadow and the glitter of your emotions, Both being necessary. Welcome the sadness, The fortitude, The despair, The bliss, The travail, And the peace. Every emotion that is reflected back from the world. Once this screen is clear, Like a mirror washed clean by rain, We see enormous depths, Unfathomable yet comforting. Here at last is the realm of spirit, Of compassion and deep understanding. No words are needed, Only the breath of life and the recognition that we are mirrors for each other. May you see yourself in the world today. Your gift today is reflection.
