I was reading words of Kabir, the 12th-century Indian mystic,who
said: ?When we say, ?Ahhhhh!? and say it with a deep sigh? — the kind
of exclamation that comes from our depths whenever we witness some
aspect of the world?s blessing — ?that ?Ahhhhh!? is one of God?s most
beautiful names.?
Think of the times we say Ahh at the end of a long day when we can
finally sink into a comfortable chair and relax. Or the Ahh we say
taking a drink of something cool and refreshing. Or the Ahh when we
look out at the sky or a landscape that is so beautiful and say Ahh!!
So let’s say Ahhhh and begin our day with a sense of realizing the
beautiful name of God. Feeling into the joy of knowing that this Ahh
speaks of the grandeur, the majesty, the glory and the absolutely
amazing power that is the Source of all life – ever-present, all-
powerful and all-knowing. This is God. This is within each of us.
This is that which has created us in its own image and likeness.
Ahhh!! This is amazing! It is the soaring mountains and the vast seas,
the green meadows and the vivid hues of autumn colors. It is the soft
hand of the infant and the wise eyes of an old crone. It is everything
that is and all that we are. Ahhh!
Let this thought fill us with amazement and joy – let it inspire us to
open to this truth and express it through our own living example. We
are amazing – we are grand, and majestic and powerful expressions of
the One. Let us feel this Ahhh energy rise up within us to become a
chorus of voices celebrating this new day. Let us see God’s great good
everywhere we look- and know that it is within us and we can spread it
around. We are alive, doing our chosen work, being who we have come
here to be. Ahhh! This is good!
Let us give thanks for another day – Ahhh! We set these words free —
and live from the Ahhh that wells up from within us. And so it is.
