Meditation – April 14, 2009
Posted on Tuesday, April 14th, 2009
Scripture: They asked each other: “Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?” Luke 24:32
Prayer: Help me to realize that I don’t have to be on a road to hear you.
Response: For today see yourself walking in the rain along a darkened road before dawn. You are wrapped in thoughts of tasks to accomplish as close as you pull your jacket closer to ward of the rain blowing in from the sea. Without warning, a feeling, a thought penetrates your attention and encourages you to abandon your concerns, those distractions that keep you still, and to think more deeply. It is at such moments that you experience an ascent or is it a descent into the realm of the heart – where mind and its analytical ability are put aside
At such times, your heart does burn with a recognition that those on the road to Emmaus experienced. And your recognition, difficult for you to accept so wedded are you to past events recorded, is the same and is available to you each time you pause in the rain of your life – if you catch my meaning.
How can I make it clearer than to say over and over to you – using words, sights, relationships, events, circumstances – that I am walking alongside you? Be at peace and listen, observe, sense my presence on your road to Emmaus.
All for this morning.
