AS YOU ARE

they brought to him all who were ill or possessed by demons
he cured many who were sick with various diseases,
and he drove out many demons,
rising very early before dawn, he left
and went off to a deserted place, where he prayed
when the noise of the world gets too loud
and the times of life pass too fast

Contemplate

when things around seem so right
or maybe there’s too much too wrong

Contemplate

go to that place, that happy place
but go as you are, drop the pretence, the vanity
drop the masks, the strength and all the fights

go as you are

because it is not in action that we find our answers
it is not in this world, this brain, this mind that we find what we search
it is in the silence, the quiet, the peace and the darkness
it is in the nothingness that we hear the voice
the answers are in the silence, the gold is in the quiet, the strength lies in seeming weakness

so contemplate, go as you are

lay yourself bare, let yourself be vulnerable, let down the guards that you think protect you
it is not until you let go that you let God
don’t let the noise drown out the voice
don’t let your super actions defeat his need to help
allow yourself a few minutes each day to go to that happy place
do not speak, do not think, but just be
once you’re silent, you are open, once you’re open, you are blessed
and once you’re blessed, then you are your ultimate

magnificence
