On being prayer

DOROTHY P. SEAGREN

Right now at this moment
I need not travel to the Father.
Right now at this moment,
I am at one with Him.

No suppositional gravity
can attempt
to subtract by disappointment
detract by separation
or
attract by suggestion
my being
away from this
positioned
awareness
of prayer.
I cannot dump my questions on His doorstep.
Don't we live in the same dwelling place?

He is here
and so am I. We dwell together.
I am infinity's reflected affirmation
of itself!
This prayer I am holds me forever
in constant obedience
to the law of being.
This prayer I am
affirms and cherishes
oneness, joy, clarity, and freedom!
Reflected being
is being prayer
now.
