I'm going to be. I'm going to be. I'm going to be. Good morning.

God morning to you.

I am here again with that which burns sin and repentance, guilt, and holding back.

This flame says nothing here but God, everything, everyone, every moment.

This fire says that.

That's roomy, whether this body is seated, chanting Hari Krishna,

Harri Ram, or reciting the rosary or our father who art in heaven hollow, be thy name,

or whether it's walking or driving or eating or singing it's hearing this fire

this flame this flame is sounding like harry krishna harry ram it's sounding like hell mary

full of grace it's sounding like our father who art in heaven it's sounding like, hell Mary, full of grace, it's sounding like our

father who art in heaven. It's sounding like footsteps, like the engine starting, like singing.

Sometimes it sounds like crying. Sometimes it sounds like laughing. But if you listen carefully, Listen carefully.

Only that is there.

That which you're hearing right now.

That simple, nothing you make into something to desire to want. Rumi said, if you want something, release the wish and let it light on its desire completely

free of the personal, then sit and sound the drum of nothing, nothing.

So you can have the desire, but then drop it into this well of silence.

Give it back to where it came from, from who it came from. And say, God, all I want is you.

Thank you for this promise. To receive it, I give it back. Because I know what's here. I know that you're here and that this grace is all

I need, your sound, which is your voice, your prayer, your presence is all I need. When I'm chanting

with the name of God, it's so that I may stay focused on the presence of God, that I may feel

his presence, her presence, his presence, where I previously thought it was not, assumed it wasn't.
