Dear God/ess, The storms have intensified over  the last 24 hours, but the river has not yet started to flow at high speeds with logs flying by at 25-40 miles per hour.

That may happen tomorrow.

But tomorrow is tomorrow and today is today.

What are all the things that keep us from the here and now?

Today, I was thinking of the shoulda's, coulda's, woulda's that keep us in guilt and finger pointing. If I am thinking of all the things you should or  could have done, then I am not being present for you, I'm not listening to you, and I am not loving you.

We always say here on this Prayer Blog that judgment of other people is no longer acceptable, nor is self-judgment, the shoulda, coulda, woulda kind of self-judgment. Often we'd rather project onto someone else our judgment, and in this way, avoid self-judgment all together.

It comes as quite a shock to realize we will not live forever. Or that the people we love may decide to move on. But as a friend of mine said today, at the end of a life, the real shock comes when you realize there is no separation between one life and the next, between this life and the here after, between this dimension and all the other layers of perception.

What a blow to the Ego!

Om Peace Amen
