on writing

i am sitting here waiting to make
Emmy's call.

i got father keating's dvd seminars
and have gone through it once.
it is on heartfulness.

all in all there are three dvd's
three headings
on each dvd
broken down into three sub chapters
under each heading,

the language is simple
and easy to understand
so i have decided to translate it
using my software and to have it
print out on paper.

this way
it will be in a meditative form for me
i can ponder his words
and see what comes from it.

i've done this before
and i think it will be well worth my time
for you never know what comes out of the
ponderings of the heart.

this weekend coming up
it's bethany once again
can't wait
i love it, love it, love it.

we had a prayer we had to arrive at last
time
it had to be no more than ten syllables
that we say in those times of nothing thinking.

first i had
god, be the source of my thoughts, words and actions.
that's 11 syllables.

then i had
god, souce of my thought, words and actoins.

then i wanted
something to do with writing.

god, be the source of my writing
i wasn't comfortable with it.

and then finally i came up with this
which i am comfortable with and it is
like an abbreviated mantra.

god, be the source of my words.

i say it
and i am comfortable with the words

they want you to keep it for the nine months
of the centering prayer program.

i am pretty sure i will take this
nine month course again
and then
i think i would be comfortable
with the mantra
god, be the source of my writing.
but i am not there yet.

peggy joined emmy's group
i'm glad
i think she'll benefit from it.

they all would
but let's see -

i'm pretty contented.
time to call emmy.
