God is the ocean and gives all of him/her/itself to me, so I can give my all to all.
Daily I walk down to this vastly powerful edge of the world, offering my innocent wishes and needs, large and small, with all my heart and all the trust I can unearth. I place them at the surf line and watch what happens…
Some days They play hide and seek, shimmering pictures of fleeting Desires I’d barely recognized or thought extravagant or otherwise discarded, to show me “Yes, all this and more is yours. You need only ask.” And surprises start floating effortlessly ashore.
Some days He sneaks away with a giant Wish hidden in the backflow, buried by the undertow, seemingly lost forever. And then one morning as I’m busy carrying my daily offerings thru the sand, I look up to see a brilliant golden castle with my name on the door, with little treasures scattered all around on the sparkling sandy ground. While my Beloved Divine Friends have taken form and are inside serving coconuts and mango lassi.:)
We go on like this day after day. They coax me farther from the shoreline to let the waves wash over me again and again. Soon I am swimming in their Divine Love. Their waves feel like my waves, rising and falling with Life’s infinite improvisational rhythms. I can hardly tell the difference any more. Am I dancing or is it my Divine Friends? I stop wondering, completely lost in the joy of the Dance...
