(Meditation musing below comes after meditating upon the portrait above, which is in the private collection of Rev. Arlene Curley, Co-director of the Greenshire Arts Consortium and a Minister of the Church of Illumination, Quakertown, PA. The meditation honors all seekers on the spiritual path. It also honors Rev. Curley's recent discourse on sacred-friendship mirrors, delivered 3-25-12 at The Church of Illumination, available on CD from The Philosophical Publishing Co., 215-538-5300 or megbevhall@comcast.net.)
I look into your eyes
And see myself reflected ~
For we are One in Spirit,
Co-creators and Christ-children
Of The Eternal One.
You mirror me,
And I, you ~
And the Image is
Pure Divinity.
In loving recognition
Of our sacred heritage,
I come to you ~
Pledging to you
Deep, Divine Love,
Total acceptance
And unwavering commitment
As we step forward
With Joy
On the journey together.
I embrace and enfold you
With Sacred Love ...
Knowing through Holy Love,
You and I are truly
One.
For you mirror me,
And I, you ~
And the Image
Is Pure Divinity.
