In every moment there is this connection, sensed or not, within which our consciousness drifts, not knowing where it has come from, what it is, or where it is going, clinging to the familiar, as though that provides meaning. And yet there is purpose, as life unfolds from an unawareness of its unawareness into an awareness of its unawareness, and then venturing into a field of joy.
And though the ego may shout "What about me?" if it would only still itself, it would hear the universe whispering back "There is so much to enjoy".
When we recognise that our thoughts are only our thoughts, our emotions are only our emotions and our obsessions are only obsessions, we may be willing to surrender them in the search for something more than being this little self, lovely as that may be.
So let it go. Yes, that and that. And when it is all gone, there You are.

If God is God then
If God is God then God hears everything. If God hears everything then God hears you; always. And if God hears you, you are speaking to God everytime everytime you speak.
So if God is God then you can speak to God anytime. In fact, you would be speaking to God all the time, whether or not you are aware, whether or not you intend to do so.
So if you do not know whether God is or what form God would take, try talking to God mindfully. Some people may call it prayer. Be aware that you may be talking to God even in this moment, imagine you are talking to God in the moments to come, and look out for the responses that may emerge.
After all, what do you think this life is?

Little short of a ...
There is a mystery that is all around us and inside of us waiting to express itself. Unnoticed, it persists, radiating magical life, for this is the miracle of miracles: life itself.
And you know who you are? You are life. This is it. You are the miracle, you are life expressing itself, you are life noticing itself expressing itself. You are the miracle watching the miracle.
And how does this feel, how does it feel to be part of the miracle, how does it feel to be its essence?
If we allow that there could have been nothing, nothing at all, then how unlikely is it that there is something? And more than something: this, in all its majesty.
We, who could perhaps have been nothing, are part of something utterly amazing: we are utterly amazing. There is icing on the cake too: that is to notice the miracle of being; and there is a candle.
Don't you just love this living thing.
