Are you ever aware of the divine tension between the path you've chosen for yourself and

the one that God has chosen for you?

The Daffodils by William Wordsworth is the quintessential English Romantic poem.

He touches on the relationship between ourselves and nature, ourselves and God's creation.

I wondered lonely as a cloud that floats on high or veils and hills.

When all at once I saw a crowd, a host of golden Daffodils.

Inside the lake beneath the trees, fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

For oft when on my couch I lie and vacant or pensive mood, they flash upon that inward

eye, which is the bliss of solitude, and then my heart with pleasure fills and dances

with the Daffodils.

The theme of this guided audio meditation from Psalm 16 will take you on a walk.

Whether feeling vacant or in a pensive mood, a walk down a path with God, a beautiful

path to remind you of God's filling joy, his presence and his eternal pleasures.

At a beginner meditation, settle into a place of receiving for a moment, just relax your

body and your mind and your gaze.

We will be together for about 15 minutes, but begin now by slowly turning over your palms

and placing them down in your lap as a symbolic gesture of your desire to lay down your

concerns before God to turn them over.
