The Longing for Union

 

There is a hunger, a longing, deep within your heart.  And it has been there from the moment you were born.  It is not this foolish longing for romance or money.  It is not this hunger for success and recognition.  It is not even a desire to be surrounded by beauty.

 

The hunger that presses upon you so acutely is simply the longing for you to reach again the state of complete oneness, to access your own soul, right here within you.  For it has not left you, of course.  It has not ventured away and gotten lost in the forest of your life.  It has merely been a bit covered over, like an old garden wall that gets covered in moss and brambles over time.  

 

But yet, this wall of a body still holds within it the glorious garden of the soul.  It still harbors that great and glorious blossoming that is you.  You, who are individual and unique and, at the very same time, one with all that is.  You, who are this glorious body vitally alive in this lifetime, and at the very same time, this soul that is ethereal and immortal, ever present.

 

And so the longing then is for union.  Union of all the different parts that are you.  The part of you that is this body and the part of you that is this soul.  The part of you that is unique and the part of you that is exactly one with all else that is.  The part of you that is God and the part of you that is�?God.

 

First, go within and find the union.  Find the peace that is you.  Find yourself deeply within and deeply one with all that is.  Then come back out and live.  Live with vibrancy.  Live with zest.  Allow yourself to feel and enjoy everything that this glorious life holds.  Allow yourself to fall in love with every moment of it.  Infuse this fabulous adventure of a life with your own golden glow of being.

 

You are, right now, what you need to be.  You are, right now, the perfect expression of all that needs expressing.  From this place, right here, right now, go deep inside and find yourself, this self you will bring forth to shine out.  Nothing else is needed.

 

Here is a little prayer for today

 

I am all that I need to be.  I am enough, for peace, for joy, for love, for happiness unbounded.  It is all within me.

 

And I, just as I am, deserve all of this bounty.  I am the wonderful, glowing expression of life and spirit.  I am the balance where it all meets.  I am the gladness and the joy of all creation made manifest.  I am the flowering and the opening.  I am.
