the sun is calling us both
What am I after all but a child, pleas'd with the sound of my own name?
Walt Whitman

Prayer is a well-worn trail, a pathway from my true self to the universe. No, I don’t need a false god or a superstitious religion to pray.

You want to pick up a lovely rockÂ
That is a pale shade of blue but you can’tÂ
The rock has grown roots like an old oakÂ
And has attached itself to the earthÂ
Looking closely nowÂ
You see that the entire planetÂ
And everything on itÂ
Has become one sold rockÂ
Now your feet are rock tooÂ
So is your bodyÂ
And you are attachedÂ
Perhaps foreverÂ
To the earth where you standÂ
I am sorry but this where I must leave youÂ
For I am a busy manÂ
And I am not attached to anything Â
-----
I am as wide as you dream me to be
I am as slender as one fine hairÂ
On the nape of your neckÂ
How could you ever fail to trust meÂ
Even now the sun is calling us bothÂ
To come outsideÂ
James Lee JobeÂ

A student once asked the spiritual teacher Jiddu Krishnamurti what his secret to peace and contentment was. He leaned over and whispered to the student: ‘I don’t mind what happens.’
