This is a meditation about opening the spiritual space for wholeness to enter. It is, of course, in the voice of the spiritual traveler, the one who hints at wisdom and loves the journey for its own sake. This prayer/poem will appear in my forthcoming book, Song of the Spiritual Traveler.
The Open Space
Wholeness is the open space,
The place between,
Where the rhythm of being
Enters, flows through,
In my vision and my courage.
Forgiveness is the open space,
Where yesterday meets tomorrow,
Where the tide waits to shift,
Where holiness blesses the mundane,
In my breath and my celebration.
Wisdom is the open space
Where the echo hears the wind,
Where the silence becomes G-d’s Voice,
Where all that I am meets all that I can be,
In my marrow and in my surrender.
