Morning Prayer 4/100. Yin yang
Yin yang
Our yin yang is always present.
Very shortly Cindy and I will drive to Beaumont, TX, for the memorial service/funeral for my step-dad, Marvin. Two days ago I checked the St. Mark’s website to verify time of service and saw, listed in the UpComing Events, the funeral for Mary Ellen Wisrodt.
Marvin came into Mom’s (and so, into my) life 15 years ago. I was 50. Mary Ellen and A.V. lived across the street from us on Baldwin Drive when we first moved to Beaumont. I was 3. I last saw Mary Ellen when I was 5 and we moved across town.
Yin-yang is that element of Chinese philosophy that describes how apparently opposite forces are actually complementary and interrelate to one another. The incidence of my spying Mary Ellen’s name, recalling their house across the street; a memory-trigger definitely out of the blue. The incidence of two individuals at such time-separate places in my life connected by their transitions and celebrations at the same church. The complement of realizing human (life)time and appreciating eternity’s timelessness. The consciousness of sorrow for the loss and gratitude for the being.
The yin-yang. Duality forming a whole.
MotherFather God,
the blessings of living and the blessings of eternity
more than complement one another.
Our blessing from you, expressed by our life
in human form, with human joys and human efforts,
is the smaller consciousness.
Our grace from you, known as our Being of Spirit,
in the truth that is forever, without end
is the eternal awareness.
The beautiful blending of the two
is cause for our thanks.
Amen.
Love and blessings,
