#182 “I will be still an instant and go home.”
Does the memory of a Realhome keep haunting you?
Does this egoworld we think we live in seem like home to you?
Do you feel like an alien here, like being from another planet?
Do you ever feel like you are in exile?
Is this constant feeling no more than just a tiny tuck,
And then let go, returning again and again?
Could you possibly want to feel this lingering sadness?
For sad it is to be away from our Realhome…
Sad because we have this faint feeling that our Realhome
Is so gloriously beautiful, so holy, yet we are not there?
We ceaselessly search for something that will numb this memory.
This knowing; this joining; this evasive holy instant.
When we are still an instant
This egoworld recedes from us.
When valueless ideas cease to fill
Our restless minds…
We have returned to our Realhome
If only for an instant.
We can hear His Voice in that holy instant.
We are in that perfect stillness,
In that perfect peace, feeling the love
That we were born to be.
Today I will rest with Him
In that holy instant when I hear His call.
Today I know my innate innocence
Is still powerful enough to listen
To this Voice for God…to know I’m home.
If only for an instant.
The holy Child has remained with me.
