Hay-Ku of the Day (Children of the Light)

Centering Down (2010); An iconic image of “entry into deep stillness” and “silent waiting upon God’s Presence" Quakers call "centering down” in which “…members sit in deep contemplative silence together...each person attuned to their own Inward Light"; Companion haiku: Accompanying.

Centered in the One
Abiding in the Balance
Mindful of the Light.

[Rich Note: Although I never put this "two and two" together before attending a Quaker Meeting last week, this particular reprise would seem to be a rather accurate characterization of what Quakers refer to as “centering down.”]

[Rich Note: Both an OOMM Oldie and a "top five" favorite, this offering first appeared in the initial Jun 07 post.]
