Loving Lord God, help me to be aware of your loving presence regardless of where I am or what I am doing. Lead me into the center of your heart of love, The Holy of Holies where peace and joy abide. Let me live in your presence always.
~ from THERE IS NOTHING IN GOD BUT LOVE by Maryanne Lacy
Stopping is an essential part of the spiritual life. If we cannot stop, we cannot see our True Nature. When we stop, we begin to see clearly, and we can appreciate the wonders of life. We can see that there is no separation between ourselves and the world, and we can marvel at the oneness of all things. To be fully present in the moment, we need to stop letting our mind race ahead to the future or dwell in the past. We need to let go of our distractions, our worries, and our busyness.
