I rise in the early dark with you, Abba, Father;
Hearing you, feeling your lovingkindness.
In you I trust, with thanksgiving—
Grateful for every good thing, and 
Every unjust trial, each temptation.
I stand at the door;
You hold the key in your great hand;
I knock, and
You open.
Let us greet this sudden day,
Finally, with gladness, in faith.

And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed. 
— Mark 1:35

For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 
— Romans 8:15

In my guided meditation this morning, the idea of which was, in essence, to stay in the moment, to “be here now.” I was led to the idea that life and existence is far simpler than we’ve been thinking. The multiverse, metaverses, parallel universes, near infinite spawning baby universes from each decision point times eight billon people times a hundred times a day.

Embrace it all. 
Embrace the unexpected. 
Embrace the big and the small. 
Embrace every vicissitude. 
Embrace the villains and the heroes. 
Embrace the unknown, 
The chaos, 
Every damned bit of it. 
Embrace the supercilious, 
The inane, 
The bonkers and the off-track. 
Embrace the precarious. 
Embrace the terrors, the thrills, 
The wanted and unwanted. 
Invite it in: 
The darkness, the brittle, crackling clamors of the night. 
Accept it, 
Expect it, 
And then, just enjoy the ride. 

Brown eyes, warm;
Red heart, beating;
Hands, moving;
Strength, emanating.

My love,
My life,
My today,
My tomorrow.

My sustenance,
My blood,
My light,
My sky.

My queen,
My wife.

Wanted—
Needed—
Sought—
Found.

We were two wandering souls;
Now, we are one.
You, me, God, family—
Inseparable,
Destined,
Real,
True,
And…
Good.
