Loving God,
Creator of Light and Life,
As the morning sun rises this early morn,
may the light of your love rise up
within my heart, to shine through me
as the glorious sun.

Dear Friends,
If you are on Facebook, I invite you to visit my FB page called
Morning Prayer ~ to begin each day with Divine Love and Grace.
Anna Lin
Such a lovely reflection ~ Enjoy the moment ~
I wonder about many things but never the certainty of this bliss I feel at this moment!
For unto you shall come this day
the joy of a compassionate heart
that lives in giving of oneself to care
(for least and lonely ones among us),
For those now lost in anguish and despair.
Their desperate hearts cry out to you –
to be their Christ upon the way;
Asking that you would gently bend
to share a morsel for the day.
And in this giving of your blessings
God’s abundance begins to flow ~
streaming outward ~ blessings others ~
making all the world whole.
In this moment
you shall know
the meaning of a life for good;
Give to bless another’s need
and joy returns a hundredfold.

An exquisite video with Rumi’s poetry ~ Enjoy
Creating videos is hard work but thoroughly enjoyable. I made this one today. It is hot off the press or should I say off the computer. I do hope you spend a few mins. (Two actually,) watching this you tube. Made with all my love, joy and much happiness for the gift of inspiration from those enchanting words of Rumi.

The ecstatic poems of Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi, a Persian poet and Sufi master born 807 years ago in 1207, have sold millions of copies in recent years, making him the most popular poet in the US. Globally, his fans are legion.
“He’s this compelling figure in all cultures,” says Brad Gooch, who is writing a biography of Rumi to follow his critically acclaimed books on Frank O’Hara and Flannery O’Connor. “The map of Rumi’s life covers 2,500 miles,” says Gooch, who has traveled from Rumi’s birthplace in…

I take to myself
my broken self:
my guilt, my peace,
my folly and joy,
my sickness, my health,
in laughter and agony,
hating and loving,
my fear and my birthing –
and I am made whole.
I take to myself
you, my neighbor,
cupping your life
within my hands:
your broken self
pure gift to me;
not burden, gift,
as mine to you –
and I am made whole.
I take to myself
you, broken Earth;
stripped and abused,
paved over and poisoned,
you mother so freely,
abundant in grace:
clasp in your mercy,
surprise into tears –
and I am made whole.
I take to myself
your broken self,
my dear, near God;
broken for broken,
for lost and for spent.
As fragmented love
and nectar of life,
you come, gentle God –
and I am made whole.

Peaceful ~ ~ ~ Still ~ ~ ~
in Silent Wonder I behold Your face,
my Gracious Lord.
For in this Presence
all the fullness of love’s grace
is known full well;
and I shall rest secure
in love’s embrace.
All shall be well
and all shall be in peace.

Deep waters flowing through me,
Christening all that speaks of life,
as Your grace resides among the rivulets,
that emerge to find their Source.
With Your power and Your glory,
they gain strength to fully be ~
Streams of mercy flowing onward,
filling oceans of Love’s being.

When light climbs out of the sweet darkness, falling down in golden streams upon my mystic heart, I will stand in the light fall and become a vessel of light and darkness. My heart will overflow with eternal questions! ~Macrina Wiederkehr
Your quiet whispers of silent beauty
speak to my heart and soul with gentle
grace this day.
~ Anna Lin
This is hauntingly beautiful and brings me to tears.
On this day may we remember whose land it is we walk upon
and whose freedom needs to be restored as our First Nations ancestors.
