Under the Love and Protection of La Virgen Madre – Window Altar Arrangement & Photograph by Toni Roberts
sitting at my altar…
fretting over the state of the world…
and the needs of my own life…
the Beatles song drifts in:
“When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be”
I
let go
of
all
thought…
fear…
anxiety…
and
simply…
let it be…

Night Altar – Altar Arrangement and Photograph by Toni Roberts
Some view my altars and ask…
is she pagan?…
does she worship idols?…
My altars simply serve as a focal point during
MEDITATION…
The candle flame draws me in…
It becomes a focal point…
My attention becomes single-focused…
A requisite for deep
MEDITATION…
The statues and other objects lend their unique and special energies
For everything…human or otherwise…
is
ENERGY…
ENERGY
is all there is…
One’s visual attention…drawn by the candle flame
remains focused on the altar…
while all of one’s conscious attention is focused on following one’s breath…
simply breathe…
in…and out…in…and out…in and out…
one follows one’s breath as one’s thoughts
become travellers along the pathway of the mind…
drawing no more attention than passing traffic on a highway…
simply breathe…
in…and out…in…and out…in…and out…in and out…in…and out…in…and out…
one’s only job is to breathe…
as one surrenders the ignorance of the human ego
to the
WISDOM
of the
INDWELLING DIVINE…
simply breathe…
in…and out…in…and out…in…and out…in…and out…in…and out…in…and out…

be okay with not knowing or understanding…
and simply resting in what is…
View From The Window: Hutchinson River & Long Island Sound On A Cloudy Day – Photo by Toni Roberts
this
miracle-making
amazing
know-it-all
do-it-all
omnipresent
omniscient
omnipotent
PRESENCE…
that permeates all that is…
this
mystical
mysterious
PRESENCE
that I cannot control…
and do not understand…
it is to
THIS…
the
UN-NAMEABLE
that I now
surrender…
allowing
IT
to possess me…
body
mind
soul…
permitting
IT
to
flow
in…
through…
and
as...
all
that
I AM…
letting
IT
manifest
as
FORM
in this
3rd dimension of being...
according to
IT’S
WILL…
and
IT’S
PLAN…
not
mine…

Surrender – Pencil Drawing/Photo by Toni Roberts
of all that one holds as
TRUTH…
and
REALITY…
it is the learning to be
IN…
but not
OF…
this
MAN-MADE
world…
it is the
TOTAL
SURRENDER
to that which one cannot
touch…
taste…
smell
or
see…
and can only
hear
as a faint
echo
within one’s
HEART…
these are but a
sprinkling
of the
difficulties
one encounters
upon the
JOURNEY
to
WHOLENESS…
so be ye of strong
SPIRIT
and great
COURAGE
as ye embark upon this
SACRED
INNER
PATH…
Photo by Toni Roberts – Central Park, NYC
and so it is
that this life of mine has become
a journey of unfolding events
day by day
moment by moment
in which I simply let go of all
musts
and
shoulds…
allowing myself to
drift along…
riding
the
currents
of
BEING…
