“I abide in hearts out of compassion,
replacing ignorance and darkness
with a shining lamp”
Bhagavad Gita
Appearances of
stony ignorance and darkness
thrive in hard judgment
Ignorance and darkness
multiply in endless shadows
in repetitive belief of them
Ignorance and darkness
travel like well looted bandits
and protected thieves
in climates of denial
and resistance
Ignorance and darkness
when smiled at as forlorn guests
when met with calm serenity
and incandescent compassion
melt and soften
aerate and evaporate
and disappear…
forever
Ignorance and darkness
appear like last night’s dream
when kept in shadows
and…evaporate like the morning dew
in the light of kind knowing:
this is shadow
yet, only the sun Is
shining….
God Presence Is
remember….as the rejoicing..
the shine of home…
Still Presence
here
now
Awake as the holy joy
awake as primordial innocence
awake as spirit eternal
awake as deific Love
awake as vast consciousness
In the shine of illumination
meet every gray suffering
shining as compassion
shining as universal principle
shining as the bliss of acceptance
all the way home
to the eternal now
shine
shine compassion
shine
I am
That
I am
ineffable immortal happiness….
SELAH
