Sometimes we fear so much the naked night

Sometimes we fear so much the naked night
we would do anything to avoid it
even becoming stuck

After a long day of being in the zone

Weary, emptied out
yet still overflowing

When the depth of your work
equals the depth of your rest

The disappeared

My friend: How easy it is for you to disappear
right in front of us, right here
nodding, smiling: eyes vacant

The wound

Learning to trust again
filling eternal hole with eternal sustenance
human desire, divine task

A note from Meisaan: Invitation to a prayer gathering

Dear Friends,

For those of you who are interested, I’ll be hosting a prayer gathering in Chicago. We’ll talk and pray about those things in our lives that need attention; leave space for silent meditation; and then write/draw/create what we hear from the Divine. Afterwards, we’ll have the opportunity to share with others what God might have said either in our spoken prayer or silent meditation time.

No religious or spiritual affiliation is expected or required.

When: Monday, 16, 2015, 7:00-9:00pm
Where: Cenacle Retreat and Conference Center (513 W. Fullerton Pkwy, Chicago, IL 60614)
Parking: Free and available on-site.
RSVP: to meisaanchan@gmail.com

I hope to see you there and journey in good company.

Fondly,
Meisaan

The burden can be light

The weight of being right can be crushing
the joy of being wrong can strangely uplift

When my will is exposed
you are the safest
