In Love With The Lord

A Prayer for Transfiguration

Can you not see it in my face? Our difficulty is such a little thing. We have a very great reality and our struggles are only temporary. As I put my hand all over your beautiful face, I see the transfiguration - your soul's perception. I am never out of the feeling of you in me, our life, yours and mine together, is the life of our greater hearts. Forgive me for today I realize I did not always believe the loving things you said, or understand in full the many things you did not say. Oh how simply and tenderly you have loved me. I now know somewhat how I hurt you and what I threw away from myself and kept away from both of us. Seeing these things, I pray that I have not harmed that which is between us, and have made it forever less than it might have been. That would be the hardest punishment I could have, for all eternity. I am so sorry for all I spoiled, and for every pain I have given you. Most of all, I'm sorry that sorrow cannot undo what I have done. I pray that talking will bring us nearer and nearer by brushing away the dusty corners of our beings, and the only silence we will ever love is that which understanding creates. Other silences are cruel. Love, love, and more love.
