IN THE SANCTUARY OF THIS PRESENT MOMENT A poem about the blissful blessings of simple work Up early in the frozen morning before the sun, Pushing through the misty mind of sleepiness, Abruptly leaving the realm of dreams and pillows, I make my way through the rain wet yard To our firewood splitting shed where I wake up the big engine that powers the driving Ram of the hydraulic wood splitter and Start pulling rounds of oak heart wood Onto the cradle with a hoof knife. As I settle into the rhythm of making fire wood Piece by piece, pulling the lever that causes a Big wedge to push through and split the oak Into perfect sized chunks, ready for the stove, I am embracing the mountain of necessary work As a meditation in pursuit of a state of fully Flowing fluid motion that is the precursor to Soaring bliss and greater awareness while I climb Up into the sanctuary of this very present Moment, far above the concerns of this world Through the action of this simple work.

This song is all about why it is so important to train yourself to live in the present moment…Set to rousing Country style music, it is very well written and performed by Jeremy Camp with lyrics that are both wise, witty and profound….This song is both a realization and a prayer….
