prayer 2.27.15

feels so Good to awake into morning light without having to rush off to work in the dark!  what a luxury is time and space for contemplation, room for reflection, communion with LIFE GIVER.  what a welcomed treat indeed as we embrace AB’s SaBaT Rest, ceasing from self effort to Rely Complete In AB’s Provisions.  last evening’s half moon reminded of first week, quarter into new month, last in hebrew calendar.  i am playing catch up to date everything according to Original Way.  12th moon cycle, 12th month, ShaNaN in original hebrew numbering, adar, current name adopted from persians possibly during esther’s time.  AB Is Teaching me to observe time in relation to shifting of heavenly bodies as reference points, to know seasons, passage.  i feel grateful to be more connected in this Way, previously unavailable because we lived in city inundated by light pollution in the night, skies obscured from buildings and defilements, a general residing within walls not in open air.

walking with children at end of day, fetching goats from the fields, moon was already bright overhead as sun descends below tree line, resting against paling sky.  coolness at close of day refreshing, i felt happy to witness thriving of various plants revived with the rains.  with supply of moisture, we are encouraged to enjoy sunshine tempered in cover of vapor during day, invigorated in brisk, fresh, fortifying, enlivening atmosphere.  i feel grateful dry spell seems over but we are cautious because of anomaly for this time of year with extensive, pervasive drought.  everyone is aware but few mention to talk about it.  those who live in city have no conception of this lack, their water supplied from the city tap, they are disconnected from knowledge of Source.  hilo only feels more like kona or california, southern, but we in the country are intimately united with every ray of sunshine, every drop of moisture, every changing element out of tune, to know their effect when there is a change, shift, difference.

witnessing the seasons moving through, bringing requisites of LIFE in showers of moisture, sunshine, breezes, residents in forests, each taking turns permeate with happy songs.  various vociferous contribution appreciated, waking forest to life, bathed in flood of early morning light.  coquis have gone to bed, other voices emerge, filling this place with gladness, joy, vibrance.  rooster’s clarion announce break of day, panda curled up on rug beside me, neighborhood dog barking in distance echoing through forest filled with hardwoods straight and tall.  i feel grateful to be here, surrounded in verdant green, witnessing tame morning light casting shadows across house from objects standing in welcomed warmth.  rays splashing over everything lying in wait for awakening of dawning.

donald saunters out of bed into the woods, panda rousing for a good stretch, faithful, attentive, smart, jessi still curled up in bed enjoying last few breaths of subtle sleep.  how beautiful spreading of sunlight over trees, feeding everything in its path, circling east to west daily, joined by precipitation of clouds to nourish everything buoyed in vaporous air, rooted in earth, supplied by all the produce of AB SMYM Creator LIFE GIVER.  any lack and we should perish but AB Sustains All In Complete Knowingness, Unceasing Mercy, Unrestrained LOVE, Covered In Magnanimity, Blessedness, Beneficence, Faithful in our rising and falling, Truth AS IS, Reality Genuine For all.

condensed dew coat surfaces of leaves and structures, evaporating with brightening sun.  lightning, the black and white cat, catching a nap atop corner of railing, bowing his head in complete stillness, as if praying.  birdsongs continue but changing as different choirs come through to sing their songs, praising AB For LIFE.  blueness stretch across sky illuminated by piercing sun above tree line, making woven straw of tatami glow.  it is after all reflected light, not inherent in the object, though it may look to seem as if the object itself may be glowing bright.  we are the same in AB’s Enlightenment, standing in Presence Of Abiding Faithfulness, Reality IS, AB LIGHT GIVER.  we are Blessed to receive Gift Of LIFE, opening to blossom in AB’s Cultivation.  i feel so grateful in AB’s Constant Care, Provisions, Salvation Daily, Continually, Unceasingly Without End.  thus is the Care Of AB For everything, everyone, without exception, All Inclusive, Bridge Spanning all chasm Reaching all.

only we discriminate, bar, separate, victimize, fence off, isolate, segregate, divorce, shut out, deviate, obstruct, prohibit, break up, offend, distress, irritate, disagree, transgress.  AB IS ONE, Union, Reconciliation, Friendship, Bringing Together, Gathering To Settle everyone, Resolving In Agreement, Faithful Covenant, Promise Kept And Fulfilled, Joining, Incorporating, Embrace In Cherishing Approval, Encompassing In Favor Of LIFE, Accounting, Recognizing, Acknowledging In Abiding Eternal Presence, Delightful, Pleasant, Adoring, Joyful, Acceptance Complete AS IS.  i prefer AB’s Dealing, Way, Will For me Because AB Is Faithful In Unceasing Mercy, Radiating Unrestrained LOVE, Benefiting Good In Blessed Peace surpassing all understanding, Given Rest amid turmoil, Restoration of brokenness amid strife, disunion, conflict, animosity.  Balm Of Gilead, Spring, Fountain, Source Of Willingness, Rejoicing, Cheerfulness Eternal, Comfort Assurance, Confidence, Trust, Truth AS IS, Constant Devotion, Accurate Record, Mark Of Commitment, Seal Of Approval.

prayer 2.21.15

soft rains pelting on foliage of forest, refreshing so great, parched, brownness that has not been witnessed.  pattering stampede from afar approaching successively.  raindrops condensing to fall with gravity, reaching thirsty plants, peoples, animals, forest, unaccustomed to long extensive drought.  last rains were almost three weeks ago, disrupting usual inundation of heavy downpours in rainforest during this time of year.  we have become like unto california, arid, dry, athirst, albeit our temperatures are tempered by surrounding oceans to remain comfortable, moderated tolerably for this season.

YDH AB for moisture, greatly needed for growth, LIFE.  i felt engrossed in inward rumination of parting conversation after work, i did not even notice precious rain drops falling against windshield.  doc seemed steeped in her concerns, exhausted from work with her patients.  i feel compensation to buy and use my time must be commensurately rewarded, otherwise, there is no point to the exchange.  there are only so many hours in a day, many occupations may be had, one must choose wisely how to spend time, resources, devotion.  i feel a need to have work in the home to attend to the children’s education, albeit this could be a good learning experience.

i feel grateful for SaBaT Enfolded In AB’s Peace, Will, Rest, Refreshing from this weeks depletion from work.  AB Compensates Abundantly and i see reason for time there, to share Good News with messianic pastor and his sister, share about health with another patient who needed uplifting, shifting, so that instead of going against habituated preferences, she may be educated to make conscious choice for Good instead of bad.  i feel grateful for these encounters.  AB’s Provisions are Always Good for us.  i received greatly, much, richly rewarded in things Spiritual surpassing that of physical, material, temporal.  

better not to cling, want, require greatly of material things, but attend to Fulfillment By AB SMYM Of Worthy, Fruitful, Sumptuous Elements.  Raised Higher, Fastened In AB’s Preservation, Cherished In Approval, so i no longer grovel in the lowlands, hankering over pieces of green backs.  i do not believe in fighting over such things.  i prefer to be completely unbound by such nonsense.  perhaps this is what AB desires for me to realize, this rubbish, baloney, bunk of piffle, mischief, absurdity, folly that is completely non vital, unsustainable in anything Eternal.  we are after all not only physical but Spirit Prevails More.  thus obedience must be to that of Spirit and not physic because the First Surpasses the latter by leaps and bounds, transcending realm of material to reach Heavenward.

i feel so grateful for AB’s Will, Concluding exhausting week i cannot sustain in Living Meaningfully.  to give up oneself to work is draining, onerous, empty, unfulfilling.  mammon is not worth pursuing.  let it die where it may stand, i choose not to support it but Live In AB’s Sustenance.  for an entire year, AB’s Provisions in this financial fast have been Abundant in ways i cannot imagine.  why depend on man’s way when AB’s Way Is So Much Better?  our trust is Strengthened under trial, our resourcefulness expanded, old useless things and conceptions rid, replaced by useful, meaningful ones.  i feel grateful for this Renewal, knowing, aware, conscious of what one does, or is doing Spiritually, Consequentially, Terminally.  whenever mammon gets in the way, we are but lost.  it is better to let go of mammon to receive LIFE where the former has no jurisdiction, sway, power, sovereignty.  this is where AB Reigns, Master Of Supremacy Ascending Most High, Presiding over all.  i choose to give command over to AB Completely.  this is where i will remain, stay, abide, In AB SMYM AiLM AMN AMNN
