The first time I truly came to you I was broken
So broken it was hard to function
one who loves you dearly told me that I have to give my burden to you Regular hearts can carry finite pain
But your blessed heart
Full of love of the Most-Loving
Could defy the rules that govern regular mortals
Salawat
Asking for an increase in your rank and stature
Focusing less on me
Less on what I struggle to bear
and asking
the One without beginning or end to bless the Blessed one
To praise the oft-praised
To elevate the elevated
As I repeat any of the numerous formulas for connecting with the gift of gifts.
Focus changes
Still
Calmness
Mercy
Heaviness lifts
And now when I seek ease
Seek assistance
Seek a path
I repeat the blessed prayers
Blessed words that take the focus of me and the chaos around and remind me
Center me
Help me see and feel the ease that is always there
As if the ease waits for me to remember to seek it
Thanks to the Lord of the multiverse, the one who gives endlessly
Who has given us a way out of every difficulty
And a shortcut too
The generous King of kings
Lord of lords
Who invites us to join in in His elevation of His beloved
Who shares his most beloved with us
Access is just a few words away
Words that lead to a shift in state
A shift in circumstances
I thank Him for you.
