Busyness and Brevity

Treatment by Ed Preston, RScP

Prelude

As I age and my mind slows down, it seems life speeds up. To squeeze it all in, I need to keep it all short, brief.  As I wrote in my journal today, “busyness” and “brevity” seemed to jump out at me.  So, I now just play with them in prayer.

 

Treatment

When God is me, God is busy.  When I am God, I am still.

When God is me, God is brief.  When I am God, I am eternal.

 

Together we celebrate the busyness and the brevity all around us.

Together we celebrate the stillness eternally as One.

 

I realize busyness and brevity work as one in my life.

God realizes stillness and eternity as One in all life.

 

I thank God for the eternal stillness I can know in my God-life.

God thanks me for the brief busyness God can know as my life.

 

I release my busyness into the stillness.

God releases brevity into the Eternal.

 

We are One.
