prayer16 – BEST FORM OF FASTING

_________________________________________

the best form of fasting

is to stop oppressing people

and start uplifting them

and the Lord said

let there be light

and there was light

–

the light that blinded moses

the voice that scared him

Who said ‘I am Who am’

–

is the same Word made flesh

the same who heals the sick today

across eons He is one

–

and the Lord says

let there be healing

and there is healing

–

‘I am Who am’

not past not future

but present here in our very midst

–

transcending time and space

permeating all that is

He is Lord of the universe

–

the same Lord that spoke to moses

the same Lord Who died on the cross for us

the same Lord that heals today

–

the same Lord Who gives solace

in our sickness and pain

in our everyday life

if ego confronts you, talk to the ‘ I ‘

the power of the ‘ I ‘

melts the hardest ego

–

an ‘ I ‘ for an ego yields peace during war

an ego for an ego yields war during peace

an ‘ I ‘ for an ‘ I ‘ yields love anytime

life is not about control

it is about surrender

it is not about authority

it is about freedom

it is not about rank or title

it is about equality and equanimity

like old wine which is mellow

childhood friendship is forever

it was forged when you were

what you really were

when you meet again

you will see each other as you are and were

as children of a timeless era

–

like softdrink which is too sweet

corporate friendship is for the time being

it was forged when you were trying to be

what you were really not

when you meet again

you will see each other as you no longer are

as bosses and employees of a forgotten era
