The Signaling Moments

The Signaling MOMENTS *** ——————————————————- In the hanging gray mist of needs and lists of business To be done, a nudging pause may come, quick as the reflex side-glance Caused by a flickering candle…halting us into a cradling moment Of pause; thieving the heaviness; gracing us with refreshing seconds. Certain moments come…Notice how such times appear Unforeseen, like a sudden summer downpour, bringing invitation… This is a splashing over the cheeks on the face of our traveling paths In our journeying hours of each new morning. Moments With a calling out of our guarded selves, pulling us to mingle in Community, reaching to the underlying presence of the cosmos! This splashing by, upon a violet instant perhaps interrupting tasks, Brings surprising wonders from our opening perspective. Universe…the all of us in our united being — beyond our daily, Practical selves, hoping to experience the ineffable — Seeking inspiration from our created foundation, where, Before the rise of the Ego, we grew like flowers beside the stars. The moments come wishing for our touch or perhaps only some breaths, In communion, reflecting to the ever-present source of peace, in Totality, reigning; where footsteps and hands and conclusions Do not go..but only the fragrances of who we are when spirit-free. ———————————————————————————— (c) Sally Young Eslinger 8/2021 Thanks be to God R45ereerytexcrd
