This encapsulates my daily early morning experience.
As I settle in my Zen garden I begin by, first, focusing on my breathing. Breathing in the essence of the moment and breathing out gratitude. As my thoughts, as usual, stream with faint complementing emotions, I gently focus on the silence between and beyond them.
Thus begins my meditation. I savor the moment as joy flows from within me. The stream of joy brings with it an epiphany, and my joy turns to bliss.
Thank you, Lord, for the wonder and Glory of Your love.
Thank You, Lord, for my daily bread.
I sit at your feet
breath bated
awaiting your word
as always
you reach for me
with your loving gaze
my heart sings
for I have been fed
with my bread for the day
