The Shadow of the Gift
The
first step, taken in hope and trust, is paramount to our awakening.
Support
will always be provided, willingly and freely, through the hands and minds of the
charitable and transparently merciful. Open awareness and acceptance of this
are simple requisites of faith.
Steady
as the light of day, reliable well past any understanding, subtle as the sounding
bell, the truth delves deep within our open heart, unearthing a unique response
to infinite grace.
Looking
up from mundane preoccupations of self and isolation, gazing into eternal skies,
the shadow of the gift can be neither touched nor taken.
The
challenge is to accept it in humble silence, in quiet absence of thought and
image, fleeting resonance of clear quiescence, sheen of motive confluence
containing life’s true bounty.
