The Liturgy of the Open Palm - A Dawn Meditation on Cosmic Exchange

Image
      The hour when the night has not yet departed, and the day is but a pale, bluish promise along the edge of the horizon, always carries a sense of naked truth. I sit in the silence of this early room, as the first rays of sunlight pierce the glass like thin, luminous fingers, and I think about touch. About those completely mundane, almost automatic gestures we exchange out of habit, never suspecting that within them lies encoded the entire metaphysics of our existence. We say: Give me five . We say it with ease, with a smile, sometimes in passing, while rushing somewhere, locked within our own tiny, isolated worlds. But what does this truly represent, if we strip away the layer of daily banality? What happens in that microsecond when two palms meet in the air and press against each other? This is a merging . In a psychoanalytic sense, the touching of palms is our first persistent attempt to overlap the boundaries of the Ego, which we so zealously guard the rest of the...

Humility is an essential virtue

 As human beings, we often have our own plans and desires that we want to achieve. We set goals, make plans, and work towards them with determination. However, as we journey through life, we quickly realize that things don't always go as we had planned or hoped. It's in these moments that we need to remind ourselves of the powerful #prayer, "Lord, Your Will be done."
The prayer of "Lord, Your #Will be done" is a powerful reminder that we are not in #control of everything that happens in our lives. We need to have the humility to recognize that our plans and desires may not always be in line with God's plan for us. It requires trust in God's plan and the #calmness to #surrender our will to His.
#Humility is an essential virtue in the #Christian #faith. It means recognizing that we are not the center of the universe and that our plans may not always be the best ones. By praying, "Lord, Your Will be done," we acknowledge that God's ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts are higher than our thoughts (Isaiah 55:9). We submit ourselves to God's plan and seek His guidance, trusting that He knows what is best for us.
Trust is another important #virtue that we need to cultivate in our Christian walk. Trusting in God's plan can be #challenging, especially when things don't go the way we had hoped. We may be tempted to doubt God's #goodness and question His plan. However, by praying, "Lord, Your Will be done," we express our #trust in God's sovereignty and His #love for us. We believe that #God is in control, and He will work all things together for our good (Romans 8:28).
Finally, the prayer of "Lord, Your Will be done" brings #calmness to our #souls. When we surrender our plans to God, we #letgo of the need to control everything. We no longer have to worry about the future or obsess over our goals. Instead, we can rest in the #assurance that God is in control, and He will lead us where we need to go. This gives us a sense of #peace and calmness, even in the midst of difficult circumstances.
