Practically, let’s assume
that you and your beloved are in the same room. There is a wide
range of comforting rituals, but the objective is the
same, namely, to welcome your beloved to the day.
You could begin, “Welcome to the day!” or “Welcome
to the Sunrise!”
Slipping into the nurturing embrace then
becomes, over time, spontaneous and effortless.
You soon cannot “wake-up” without
the preciously intimate ritual act of being comforted and comforting.
Even before coffee you sate your hunger
with a sip of
vital zest!
Intending to Comfort is repeated at night when
you slumber. “Welcome to the night!” or “Welcome
to the Moonrise!”
Each greeting and embrace
is followed by a sitting in silence which is a
practice of preparing to meet the day or the world of dreams by opening oneself
to the Other through sensual immersion in their
preciousness.
To sensually immerse in the preciousness of your
beloved is how you go “on line” with
the fuller body of the Living Earth—networked
with every Other everywhere. In this way, Others
sense that you consciously intend, with clear awareness and memory,
to live comfortably with them during this day
or so slumber at the end of day.
