This moment

This day

This lifetime.

I sat in the Cathedral in awe listening to the choir sing and the symphony play.  As I rested in the stillness, they took me on a journey into the holy, the sacred, the divine within my Self, within all of humanity, within the night, within the music, within the season ever-alive, ever-unfolding, ever-flowing breath by magic breath.  Hot tears filled my eyes and dripped down my cheeks from the wonder, the joy, the love, the gratitude in remembering the profound beauty that is life – all life – truly magnificent beyond measure.  Aligning with the truth, I sipped it in slowly and deliberately tasting, savoring the deliciousness; and as I exhaled, I sent a wish out into the universe that all may know this holy night that beats within their very heart that doesn’t live outside of them but spirals within.  That all awaken to the privilege it is to be the song, to be the singers with voices raised celebrating this life.  That all remember, hearing the trumpets gloriously announcing “US” – we are instruments of PEACE, LOVE and JOY expressed poetically and uniquely.  We are so DIVINE!  And unwrapping the gift of this ever-present Truth that is this holy night within, we are inspired and fueled to come alive this moment, this day, this lifetime flowing with the miracles ever-hatching as we stand with hearts and eyes wide open free!
