NOW IS...PRAY THANK YOU

My morning blinding flash of the obvious: With gratitude, I welcome my current worst fear for it is that fear that re-turns me to God...thank you.

As I sit in the silence, I ponder. 

I recall when first I "got" it...that our reasoning mind's less-than, i.e., that which we resist, needs to happen for us to experience our own powerlessness. I "got" it more than a few times since, every time a tish higher at a deeper understanding. 

For ever so long, I took that as evidence that I hadn't "got" it the first time. No. We need those first, second, one hundred, etc., wake-up calls. That is the lengthy process of letting go of what we think we know to fully grasp, or realize, that only our Father knows our needs...and Meister Eckhart's If the only prayer you ever pray in your lifetime is thank you, that would suffice proves true in our head and in our heart. 

Short, sweet and true, we pray not for our feared less-than to be removed, we pray thank you for what is. Just thank you. Now Is. 

Thank you.
