Written by Lori Carlson

Today I stop and listen
for what I don’t yet hear.
I allow each moment to glisten
in its fullness without fear.
Serenely knowing all is well
as I’m divinely guided and led.
The presence within will gently tell
me all that I need know, once I get out of my head
and in the stillness, listen to my heart.
For it is there that love presides.
There that I find I am only a part
of the larger love that is God, deep inside.

And so, I gratefully pause,
Breathe, hear, and greet
the One Great Cause
that keeps my feet
firmly planted on this path
of awareness of the One.
My home, my base, my true self,
when all is said and done.
