Pilgrims of Hope
Open the doors to
Contemplative Seeing
We open the windows of wonder
To engage with a truth of the heart
We sit and practice in stillness
At home with the Breath of Life
As we notice the intake and outflow
The pause in its natural place
The heart-space within us expands
To deepen our conscious intent
Repeating a mantra or focus on breath
Methods of awareness or concentration
A simple surrender of drifting thoughts
To align with our pre-formed intention
The Presence within us all the time
The Presence inviting attention
Bestowed in love by the Giver of Graces
No need of our own fretful efforts
Released from the struggle of striving
We allow for The Spirit’s Guidance
To strengthen the soul in her search
On her journey of Hope in all hearts
To open the doors of resistance
And allow for contemplative listening
