Welcoming Reality: Trusting the Wisdom of What Is
Welcome to the divine wisdom within, where each moment invites you to open your heart to the reality of what is.
Reality is not something to resist, control, or manipulate—it is something to welcome. When we welcome what is, we discover that reality itself becomes the teacher. Everything belongs, and everything reveals its place when we are awake enough to receive it. The Reign of God, the Big Real, Foundational Love—these are not distant ideals but the very fabric of existence, unfolding within and around us.
Our work is not to chase after some perfect state, but to see clearly what is already here. When we release our insistence that life should be different, we begin to see that love is woven into the very structure of reality. This is not passive resignation; it is a deep trust in the goodness that underlies all things. To trust reality is to trust love itself.
Prayer, meditation, and contemplative practice all aim to cultivate this trust—not by convincing ourselves of something, but by gently clearing away the mental clutter that distorts our vision. The practice is simple, but not easy. It requires patience to notice when we are fighting reality, humility to surrender what we cannot control, and courage to face what feels difficult. Yet in doing so, we find ourselves held in something greater than our fears.
The simple mantra reminds us:
God’s life is living itself in me. I am aware of life living itself in me.
God’s love is living itself in me. I am aware of love living itself in me.
These words are not a formula, but an invitation to rest in what is true. Each time you say them, you are affirming that love is not something to achieve, but something already present—moving, breathing, and expressing itself through you.
This is not sentimental softness; it is a fierce trust that demands presence. Reality asks us to show up fully—to release our defenses, to soften our judgments, and to surrender to the uncompromised love that holds all things.
There is no distance between you and reality.
No gap to close, no veil to tear.
Only this—love quietly breathing
in you, as you, through you.
Welcome this life as your own.
