Waking up. Beginning Again. Being in the Now

 Time to wake up... again… and again…

Now is always

the time

to wake up.

Do well and 

you 

will wake to 

discover 

that 

deep down,

past the chaos,

past the sin,

past the pain,

past the wounds,

past the brokenness,

at the deepest part there 

is,

at the very is-ness of it 

all,

all is beautiful,

all is ok,

all is well,

for

all is held in being

by Love...

and then,

waking up to 

this

marvellous and

terrible 

reality,

you will find 

to your

unfailing wonder 

and

astonishment

that,

all is 

transformed.

Chaos becomes peace,

sin is forgiven,

pain is relieved,

wounds are healed,

and the broken is

made whole again

in Divine Love's

embrace.

For there is 

nothing and 

no one

outside of that

holy

communion

of being

arising 

moment by moment

from Love’s

breathing.

If we live from that 

point,

from that 

whole and holy place,

then,

truly,

in stillness, 

we shall 

know,

that all is well

and 

all manner of things 

are

well.

So, 

wake up,

now.

Beginning, always beginning.

Beginning; Always Beginning.

O God of beginnings 

help me to begin.

To shrug off the burdens of before.

To leave aside the anxieties of after.

To release the chains of regret.

To simply begin.

Here.

Now.

In this moment.

With you.

O God of beginnings 

help me to begin.

To gift you my brokenness.

To yield to you even my failures 

of a moment ago.

To know that our life is built with you

moment by moment,

step by often faltering step,

as you draw us daily deeper into

the fires of love and there transform us.

O God of beginnings 

help me to begin.

To begin to love.

To begin to live.

To hear your unbinding call.

To walk out into the light

of the true life you offer

beyond the tomb of time.

O God of beginnings 

help me to begin.

To shrug off the burdens of before.

To leave aside the anxieties of after.

To release the chains of regret.

To simply begin.

Here.

Now.

In this moment,

and in every moment after.

Until all our little moments fall away

and we are called into the ending

that is really the eternal 

beginning.
