Here, nothing is required of you. You are simply here, just as you are. Every part of you in this place of green pastures and still waters.
Try to be present to these words with our body and heart.
Imagine them painting a picture in your imagination.
Welcome the opportunity to inhabit the space into which they lead you…
O My Beloved, You are my shepherd,
I shall not want;
You bring me to green pastures
for rest
and lead me beside still waters
renewing my spirit;
You restore my soul.
You lead me in the path of
goodness
To follow Love’s way.
As you welcome these words and allow them to paint a picture in your imagination notice what you see.
Where are you? Take in your surroundings, notice sights and sounds.
Are you alone or accompanied?
Here, nothing is required of you. NOTHING IS REQUIRED OF YOU. You are simply here, just as you are. Every part of you in this place of green pastures and still waters.
You are invited to rest here awhile. To BE HERE.
As you become accustomed to the stillness and as you lean into the place of non-doing, be attentive to your body. Notice your breathing, notice sensation.
What do you need at this time?
What graces do you desire?
How do you want the Beloved to be present to you?
Stay here to give yourself time to connect with your needs. You may want to offer a gesture of open hands or placing tow hands on your heart as a way to invite your deepest needs to be met.
Breathe deeply as you receive the compassionate, kind and tender loving attention of Divine Love.
