GOD IN MY HEART

[This is a reprint of my blog of September 21, 2009.]

Forget not the central truth that God is seated in your own heart.  - Swami Ramdas

Why is that so hard for me to remember?

I feel like I’m walking under water…everything is resisting me…the very air feels opaque.

It may just be the season’s changing…fall is definitely in the air…I’ve already had to wear my light-weight winter coat (we used to call them “Spring coats”) when I walked the boy at 5:30 AM.

There have been stories written about the melancholy of fall…I’ve never before really felt that…I do prefer spring, but I’ve never felt melancholy with the onset of fall. But I do today…and the day is beautiful as it was yesterday…with a nip in the air even at 75 degrees.

I look at my calendar and see “Autumn Begins” tomorrow. Why does it feel so early? It’s not…it’s right on time.

Then I look up at my glass-domed clock on which I have placed the seal “I voted, Presidential Election, 2008,” and my heart smiles…the blue feelings move back a tish…and here comes Ruckus, happy as if he had good sense, letting me know it’s time to go out…just giddy about it. For sure, God is seated in that boy's heart…and he never forgets!

Thank You.
