Contemplative Outreach-Kansas City

Come down easy, dear soul,
Come down easy into the rest you need.

Here is the place prepared for you,
A quiet spot in the midst of the swirl of life,
A still pool, where you can be undisturbed and at peace.

Let your worries drift away like autumn smoke.
The world will wait for you,
But for now it is on the far side of the hill.

Your only task is to be healed of impatient time,
Unburdened by demanding thought,
Free of the daily dance of any expectation.
This is the timeless place
The healing place for which you have longed.

Come down easy and stay as long as you like.

~ Steven Charleston

Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.

You are accepted. You are accepted, accepted by that which is greater than you, and the name of which you do not know. Do not ask for the name now; perhaps you will find it later. Do not try to do anything now; perhaps later you will do much. Do not seek for anything; do not perform anything; do not intend anything. Simply accept the fact that you are accepted.
