Dearest One

What do you call God? After years pretending not to notice the Presence that is everywhere, the yearning for that most profound relationship outweighed my objections. A term of endearment emerged: “Dearest One!” – for God, Mystery, Presence, partner, family, companions in meditation.

And yet no term is big enough for the love we embody: Dearest One, Deepest One, Hidden One, everywhere! This song is a prayer and love song to [God].

Sing it alone or to your Beloved; sing it with a spiritual practice group or  congregation. Sing it with piano or guitar, or as a choral piece with harmony. 

 Who are you singing to?

Who sings these words to you?

What is it like to sing these words to your deepest, wisest self?

 Where is God / Life / Mystery in the song, as you sing?
