"Sojourn and dwell in your essence, in your ground, and there God shall mix you with the divine essence, without the medium of any image." ~Meister Eckhart
1:48 p.m. Pacific Time, December 21, the solstice. Yet the shift and tilt of earth is really quite insignificant, and the sun is a small star, one among 400 billion in the Milky Way, which is a modest galaxy amidst the trillions clustered throughout the ever-expanding silence of the cosmic void. What is truly magnificent is not a tiny planet or a humble star, swept toward the rim of a dust-mote galaxy, but the awakening of this vast space as our own consciousness, the effortless grasp of it all beyond thought, enfolding it all with compassion, embracing it all in this brief moment of prayer.
