Walking with Wisdom by Nan Merrill
Meditation Sixteen from "Walking with Wisdom"
Beams of Light pierce
through the wilderness of
ego-desires that seem
to separate and divide--
illusions that mean nothing.
Only One Love and One Mind
are real.Wisdom ever awaits
our response, our yes, to
Her invitation to guide us Home
to the Realm of Love,
which is ever available in
this life or in
Life beyond the Veil.
Our souls will sing and
rejoice as the lure
of shadow-pleasures fades,
giving way to simplicity and silence,
stillness and solitude,
where Wisdom makes Her home.
Gladly,She leads us to Service,
to a Work of Love that reflects
our unique gifts, which we
can, now, joyfully choose
to express in the Plan for Earth,
a life that riches cannot buy,
vitality freed from fear.
Holy are cleansed hearts,
open and ready to reach
the power of love and understanding
in acts of selfless service.
Purified by Love and free from all
that is spawned by misleading ways,
no longer able to exert power,
the inner Heart Chapel
can radiate dazzling Light
into the darkness
blessing all who see true.
Walking with Wisdom is a new collection of meditations by Nan Merrill, one of the most enlightened spirits of our time. Each meditation offers profound and nourishing thought to guide us in our daily lives, and indeed, we are eager for such sustenance at this time in especial.
Nan has dedicated her life to spiritual exploration and discovery, and she speaks with an authentic voice. Earlier she published "Psalms for Praying," in which she revised the Psalms to give them a more peaceful voice, a more "feminine" perspective.
Her books are available on Amazon, where it is best to type in the titles themselves to discover them. Hers is a lifelong gift to humanity, for she shares the wisdom of many years with her grateful audience. I recommend them most highly to all who care about the true path.
She also publishes a free print newsletter titled "Friends of Silence," which you may obtain by sending your request to 11 Cardiff Lane, Hannibal MO 63401
