Reverence is the word that comes to mind as I sit here in the quiet of the early morning.  

“That altered state of consciousness when you feel awe and wonder because you know you are in the presence of Spirit” ~Sarah Ban Breathnach  

It’s a state of being that invites my soul to commune with Spirit, with the essence that represents the best part of me.  It is simply me sitting in silence with the Presence.  In this space, there are no façades, no roles to play, no masks to wear, no to-do list to check off, just my bare soul with its desires and dreams.  My thirst is to be filled with Love from that place where it resides deep within.  Replenishing my reserves in this way is crucial to my wellbeing.  

As I sit here, my heart is filled to overflowing with love and peace…a peace that I can’t find anywhere else but in this inner space.  It is here that I meet my struggles and challenges with calm, acceptance and resolve.  Everything is clearer without the encumbrances of daily life.  I can more acutely sort out the ridiculous and mundane from the truth and the important.  The constant barrage of thought is kept to a murmur behind a door that threatens to give way.  But somehow, by giving it no attention, it quiets to an almost imperceptible whisper.  The priority is clear.  This time is mine to set my intention; allowing myself to be groomed to respond to whatever assignments I may receive during the day with grace, strength and a loving heart.

This is a gift offered to me…the blessing of an early morning audience with Presence.  All that is required is my ‘yes.’  It sets and guides my day through the inevitable twists and turns and helps me deal with unexpected surprises.  It is the rudder that gives me direction.  It is the wind of joy-filled serenity that fills my sail before gently releasing me into the day…
