POEM

Hello Readers, My Spiritual Journey paper homework is finished and ready to send off to my Dean. First step in this month's process. I was led to write a poem as the final sharing on this paper. I thought I would share it with you.

GRATITUDE TO MY BELOVED

As I sit in contemplation of this journey called my life, I know I have explored this Way before.

My early years were filled with sorrow. I had lost you Beloved and was unaware.

As I look back now, I know You never left me, it was I that was not there.

I am grateful for leaving the dark times of disconnect and walking toward Divine Light.

The journey to You, my Beloved, has been immense, propelling me forward beyond this humanness.

In my ignorance I mistook your name as a representation of repression, not wholeness.

Through my lessons and embracing Your Truth, how could I further deny You?

Each step of the way, You fill my heart. Your love has healed me, inside and out.

Your teachings, the Universe, I am a part. I believe my path ordained by You, brought me to where I AM.

All the traditions lead me to my Beloved, and opened complex doors within my heart.

As I wandered from site to site visit, You were and always are, the same my Love.

I hunger to be more fully aware at all times, and filled with the One’s continual presence.

I send my Beloved my heartfelt gratitude and love in full connection and recognition, as I know

You are within me, as me.

A deeper love, I have never felt. I am full. I am grateful. I am loved. I AM.

Namaste Love, Judy Miller Dienst
