Dawn meditations
With my prayer beads in hand
I chant
God’s Most Great Name
Ninety-five times
I feel tranquility flowing
With each breath I exhale or inhale
My body
My mind
My soul
Begins the day without stress
Without worry
Tranquil
Peaceful
Looking forward to the blessings
And the tests
Of a new day

My body is the container that holds my soul on the material plan. My body is the butterfly larva feeding on the food of matter, on the blessing and the tests that develop my soul and prepare it for life on the spiritual plane.

My soul is a butterfly
The Lepidoptera
Waiting in a temple of my body
For the moment the pupa case to open
Its wings dry
And it takes flight
On the spiritual plane
In the Garden of Paradise
Beneath the Tree of Life
