Never a Truer Word Was Spoken!

Here is another beauty from Meister Eckhart’s Book of the Heart : Meditations for the Restless Soul:

In Each Moment

Oh,teach me in each moment

of every Now to know that

You are the Here in all my

wandering and the Yes in

all my wondering and the Love

in nothing less than everything.

I invite you to read this beautiful poem aloud to yourself two times. As you read, listen for the word or phrase that shimmers for you, the one that your soul is really attracted to in this moment, today.

Take a few deep breaths. Then read the poem again, and as you do, focus on the word or phrase that shimmered for you, and allow images, memories, and feelings to arise naturally from pondering that word or phrase. Breathe deeply and enjoy this unfolding.

Read the poem again and this time, listen for an invitation that may be arising from the word or phrase that called to you. Breathe deeply a few more times as you do so. Let the invitation come to you, don’t force it.

Then letting the poem, your memories,images and feelings, and the invitation go for now, simply settle into a few minutes of enjoying the presence of God, and the peace you feel, and the stillness of this moment. Breathing deeply, rest in God’s presence awhile. When you are ready, open your eyes and step back into the business of living your life today.
