Self in the Abstract Sun, 1st December, 2013
A theme for me last week was that of light. As we rise early each day for work and school, it was encouraging to see the sun rising earlier and earlier, reminding us of the promise of the spring to come. It was also a week to reflect on the love the nourishes and sustains us. In complement to the earth, sun is the equally critical ingredient for growth and health.
I'd like to share with you this beautiful prayer from Brahma Kumaris Sister Jayanti that captures the peaceful fulfillment of that comes when, like a flower, we open ourselves to each other and to the world in the presence of precious sunlight.

Sitting quietly, turning inward, I think
of the Being of Light,
the One who is Supreme in love and peace,
purity, wisdom and joy.
In the presence of the Supreme,
I feel the comfort and security of being surrounded by God's light.
Resting in this moment, I stay connected with this light,
and it's as though God's truth,
God's mercy,
is reaching the roots of my being,
making me strong.
And as I feel the warmth of God's love,
my heart opens.
I become able to share fragrance and beauty with the world.
