A Prayer For Jason

A Prayer For Jason

My son Jason fell Saturday

 his unexpected seizure

led to an ER visit

where they found a brain tumor.

Please pray for his whole family

Kelly his wife and his adorable children

Karina and Wyatt.

Dear God we thank you

for this opportunity

to see your grace in action.

We see the outpouring of

prayers of love and concern for Jason

as signs of how much love he has shared

and how he's utilized the gifts you have given him.

We see the physical symptoms he's endured

as your grace to alert those around him

of the need for his immediate medical attention.

We see your grace unfolding

in the treatment Jason receives.

We see your grace guiding

all of his loved ones, his caregivers,

his nurses, the neurosurgeon

and all those responsible for his care

to do the highest and best possible for Jason.

We see your grace providing Jason

an amazing ability to heal from this.

We see your grace manifesting

in a whole, healthy, and happy Jason.

We see your grace in all things.

Amen.  

All My Love Always, Keith

Waves

Waves

I can’t walk on the beach

without feeling the waves

are like the in-breath

and the out-breath

of Mother Earth,

Gaia’s siren song

to be aware,

to be present,

to be aware

of not only her presence

but our own.

To be anchored in it,

the constancy of it,

the never-ending aspect of it.

It allows

a deeper part of you

to surface,

the eternal nature of you

to find expression

in that which it is

and yet is not.

The conundrum

of how we are all connected

to all of it

in ways,

we can’t put into words

but we can sense,

we can feel it,

and in the end,

we know it.

Waves the in-breath

and out-breath of Gaia,

the breath

the waves of us

washing in

and receding out

of our being

and in that instant

of recognition

knowing we are one

with all of it.

All My Love Always, Keith

Take A Minute

Take A Minute

I went into meditation today

a friend’s name came to mind,

not once but twice.

So I took that name

into meditation with me.

As I came out of meditation,

I remembered the song

at the end of a moving

spiritual group session last night.

It concluded with the song

100,000 Angels.

So I played it

and listened meditatively

hanging on the words.

So much so

that I looked up the lyrics

as I played it over again.

Then I thought of this blog

and how I’ve been quiet lately

so here I sit writing a bit again

and sharing them with you.

The Lyrics of A Hundred Thousand Angels by Bliss

Do you hear me calling you
The voice of a mother
And a father and a child
Would you recognize the truth
Do you feel the love that's falling
From my eyes?

Take just a minute
Come and rest you by my side
Let me tell you your own story
Let me walk you through your life
Only a second
It's all it takes to realize
There's a hundred thousand angels by your side
There's a hundred thousand angels by your side

Do you hear me talk to you
I whisper through doorways
And pathways of your mind
Clear like the morning dew
And fresh from my journey
Cross an ocean of blue...

Take just a minute
Come and rest you by my side
Let me tell you your own story
Let me walk you through your life
Only a second it's all it takes to realize
There's a hundred thousand angels by your side
There's a hundred thousand angels here tonight

I’ve listened to it

a number of times this morning.

It dawns on me

or has come into my awareness

that there’s Love flowing

out of my eyes.

And as I write to my friends

I realize it is flowing

out of yours too!

May we see that

in ourselves today.

The Light of the One

pouring out of our eyes.

May we see

that we are

the Love

we seek.

 And take a minute

to see

who we truly are.

All My Love Always, Keith
