The beauty of the canyon sang to me this morning as Judith and I walked up the hills and down the valleys. Green around us, blue skies with scattered clouds above us — singing the song of the Uni-verse. I thought of all of us, the 7 billion people living on planet earth. Who are we becoming as we live our lives, day by day, moment by moment? Who do we want to become? OR are we living an unconscious life, responding to demands without considering questions like these?

Often we live unaware until something happens, a loved one dies, we lose a job or learn we have a medical problem. How different life is when we open our inner eyes to see the depth of experience of life awaiting our call.

Hidden Mystery

By Fred Burks

In the deepest depths of you and me
In the deepest depths of we
Lies the most beautiful jewel
Shining forth eternally

Within that precious jewel
Within that priceless piece of we
Lies a time beyond all time
Lies a place beyond all space

Within that sacred source of radiance
Lies a love beyond all love
Waiting
          Waiting
                    Waiting
Ever so patiently

Waiting for you, waiting for me
Waiting patiently for all to see
The beauty that is you inside of me
The beauty that is me inside of thee

In the deepest depths of you and me
In the deepest depths of we
Lies the love and wisdom
Of all Eternity
