New Beginnings

Every spiritual tradition that I have studied has in its creation stories a piece that goes something like this:

Before the beginning

There was timeless space

Infinite unity

Of All That Would Be.  

Out of the singularity

That was Eternal Becoming

Came a Word.

With the Word

Light separated from Darkness

And Time began.

The Word became incarnate

Dividing consciousness

Into material and immaterial.

At the beginning of time

The Word was one with All That Would Be.

The Word was All That Would Be.

Out of the Word was everything created.

All that was created

Came from the Word.

The Word is eternal and infinite

Always becoming

Always creating.

Echoes of the eternal Word

Rise up from the very ground of your being

Fall from your lips with every breath.

In communion with

What Is Always Becoming

Let us chant. 

Aum.
