The Perennial Prayer

The Perennial Prayer

First the recognition
of one's hallowed identity..
Pausing there
experiencing the wholeness
and abounding love..
Then new recognition
of the real creation
within and made of
one's identity..
Obvious..no separation:
earth and heaven..
This new birthing
of life on earth
still needing bread and
forgiveness  cleansing
for our forgetting..
Recognizing ego's slyness
to fill new identity
leading to temptation..
Knowing finally
with peace and joy: 
The Kingdom already 
IS
Here and Now...
