And so, I Blog!!

Soooo, everybody is blogging except for Moi? Is this the newest form of writing? Are we headed towards the reality of the movie "Fahrenheit 451 "? What a tragedy that would be!! I have tried Twitter~for about 48 hours ,not for me at all! I do Facebook, but also find it to be truly surfacy and a bit of a waste of my time. I like to write, not twit or mindlessly comment. So, I guess I will. :) Here I will share on the most precious thing in my life, my recovery and my spiritual journey. If my only audience is that of the ether, that will be good enough ... for I write not to be read, but because I am called to write!!! And so, I blog!!
I will begin with the daily readings from the book:
A Grateful Heart ~ 365 ways to give thanks at mealtime edited by MJ Ryan
The Winter Prayers began on the first day of winter ~ so I am begining there. The winter prayers begin with this thought:
A thankful soul is thankful under all circumstances, a complaining soul complains even if he lives in paradise. -BAHA'U'LLAH
Please join me in thought-provoking conversaton! Namaste' Cate

Adsum : Here I Am Lord


May the passions of lust, greed, pride and
 attachment depart from me.  O Lord, I come to seek
Thy shelter: Bless me with thy grace.
- Sacred Song of the Sikhs

This simple prayer reminds me of the Adsum statue I bought when I was a nun ... also called  "Here I am Lord".  When I saw it I was completely taken by the open handed/hearted presence of this woman.
Letting go of everything ~
from possessions to ideas ~
open, not clinging
 ... open, receiving and letting go
 ... open to be a pure reflection of ONENESS. 

The grace is always there ...
am I open to receive it?
Are you?

Many blessings ...  Cate
