Elements From The Conversation

~ ❖ ~

“If you would only switch on the light of awareness 

and observe yourself and everything around you throughout the day, 

if you would see yourself reflected in the mirror of awareness 

the way you see your face reflected in a looking glass, 

that is, accurately, clearly, exactly as it is without the slightest distortion or addition, 

and if you observed this reflection 

without any judgment or condemnation, 

you would experience all sorts of marvelous changes coming about in you. 

Only you will not be in control of those changes, 

or be able to plan them in advance, 

or decide how and when they are to take place. 

It is this nonjudgmental awareness alone 

that heals and changes and makes one grow. 

But in its own way and at its own time.”

Anthony de Mello

With our love and the longing that this Celtic prayer may be yours:

I lay my head to rest,

and in doing so,

lay at your feet

the faces I have seen,

the voices I have heard,

the words I have spoken,

the hands I have shaken,

the service I have given,

the joys I have shared,

the sorrows revealed,

I lay them at your feet,

and in doing so

lay my head to rest.
