Reflecting on the Magician’s image and the questions on “drinking silence”, rhythm of eternity and Grace…
Last year, I was driving alone to my daughter’s house who lives about 400 miles away, and was meandering through intense driving situations that I would’ve totally been stressed out and tense in the past, however, it was the most enjoyable, stress-free driving experience I’ve ever had. Having read the Letter I, the Magician and contemplating on its image, gave me the language to describe the event. I was experiencing the “silent zone” with the Lord. The communion was so sweet and adoring that I had no desire to listen to any music or audio books. In fact, nothing could have lured me out of the fullness and the beauty of the stillness…I was “drinking silence”. Yet I was fully aware of the traffic and all of my surroundings. My inner gaze was focused in the “spaceless and timeless” divine realm. The task of driving was done with ease by my relaxed body and peaceful mind without any effort or wasted energy. It seems that my breath was in rhythmic dance with the universe. No signs of nervousness, skipping breath or heart palpitation!
That, I believe, was Grace granted to me. Thanks for reading! Ester
