The Veils We Hide Ourselves Under

Did you ever play hide and seek?

It was my favorite game as a child

Laughing and hiding 

Until someone would find us in the darkness or light

I have found that game has continued through my life without my awareness

How do we hide ourselves from being seen

On this Monday I came across this quote

“All creatures are merely veils under which God hides Himself”

                Martin Luther

It made me think of the veils we hide ourselves under

The idea of being perfect, joyful always, superwoman or man

When the reality is

Our life is full of ups and downs

Twists and turns 

That either destroy us or teach us

Reeling in anger or surrendering in pain

Praying for guidance and love

It is in these moments that I find myself

My path back to letting go and trusting

Behind the veils of my ideas

Live the beautiful grace of God, the universe, angels and guides

It doesn’t matter what we name it

It matters simply that we receive it

That we take time to be still

To pray for grace, love and guidance

That we believe we will be found

So we can laugh, play, love in the world

Knowing behind the veils of what we see

We are still playing and living each moment

With those we love on the other side 

Beyond the veils we are all connected

In love, grace, joy and wisdom

Please take time today 

Time to come out of hiding

Seek within the beauty of your heart

Know the grace of being found
