Reverence
When we are in the present moment, not in the past, not in the future, not in our heads, so really present in this moment, there is an energy or a space of reverence: to revere, to praise, to appreciate, to honour, to be grateful for.
These are all aspects of reverence.
We hold reverence within us, but it is also very active. It also wants and needs to be expressed. It has a different quality when we express it, when we give that, when we expressed that in the present moment in our awareness.
Looking at that together what showed up was focusing on who we are, who we are individually and most importantly, who we are as a community. In that reverence, in that praise, PRAISE THE LORD, in my reference, in my praising and praising the Lord I am praising you, I am praising our community, I am praising our world. And I am waiting for the Lord to guide me as to what is to unfold from that reverenc.
The Source of True Love
What is my heart longing to explore and to express in that being present to the reverence.
And we can look for the right words to be eloquent and how we express it, but first we need to touch it and allow ourselves be touched within to then be able to express and to give it.
To go into it a little bit more we would like to share with you a beautiful offering. It is capturing what we are attempting to say. Words may fall short, but as you are listening to the music and leaning into it you may pick up the vibration.
Amen
Affirmation
Amen means: So be it. With certainty, with firmness of truth, so be it. We speak a prayer, we say Amen.
So be it.
So it is.
So shall it be.
Amen
What the song speaks to is our soul refuge in the Light of our Hearts, in the Source of True Love.
We have arrived at a critical point, individually and as a community at large where we ask:
What is that?
What is it right now that we find our soul’s refuge that we are claiming today in this wintertime, right now, as our legacy?
The legacy of the soul, the light of our heart, the Source of True Love.
In timeless gratitude and with mighty joy:
What are we declaring and owning as our legacy right now?
Our past might inform us what that legacy might be, but it does not have to.
The past and the future does not have to define the legacy that you claim right in this moment as an expression of your heart and the source of true love for you.
Without even knowing how we might accomplish it.
We wait upon the Lord, we praise the Lord.
We have come to realise that this is the only reason that we have created the Community of Light in the first place.
And this is it.
And all the sharing, all the interactions we had were really for this.
