You desire truth in the inward being;
therefore teach me wisdom in my secret heart
—Psalm 51.6
Whenever you pray,
go into your room and shut the door
and pray to your Life-giver who is in secret.
—Matthew 6.6
Go in,
into that inner chamber
beneath the where of you
and the how of you
and even the who of you
to the great I Am of you,
where hums your secret self,
the holy darkness
at the center where
God radiates out into you.
Go into that dark room
where your forgiveness
lies like a sleeping child;
like a child who has loved you
since the day she was born,
the Beloved waits to greet you.
