Immortal Devotion: The Noble Joy of Life Now
Excerpt and Expanded Commentary from Devotion,
A chapter of sacred verse from the book,
The Pearls of the Presence
Book Excerpts:
“Devotion….
Is something
we remember
We Are
Like feeling the Spirit Wind
Of an aeon of celestial Sundays
Breathing You
as the
Breath of Heaven Herself
In the Now
of Eternal Tomorrows
Remember
Original Creation
That lives forever
As the song of the pure ones
Whose every heart wish
Sprouts a flowered rainbow
Of endless luminous seeds
Blossoming miracle
upon miracle
Of the tangible, evident fruits
Of the tree of life”

Indivisibly one
with the Holy Joy
Holy Spirit
The breath of Immortal Life
Immortal Devotion
our guardian of innocence
our gateway of limitlessness
our gem-lit way
of the luminous
unquenchable heart fire
of Eternal Life
Even one spark
of one flame-ray
of the infinite Light
of Immortal Devotion,
burns-consumes-disappears
all trace of all the imagined shadows
of the valley of death,
or the thought form of delay
or the day dreams of destruction
or the species thought of defeat
Immortal Devotion
the resounding of Life,
Heaven Life
as Earth Now
Immortal Devotion
Evident here
As gardens of pink harmony
The Eden
of cascading-still beauty
Immortal Devotion
The tree of Life
of the Noble Joy
Of Together
with God
Together
as Immortal Devotion
beyond all dreams
of separation
The resounding sound
the soundless sound
heard by the ear of the heart:
Immortal Devotion
like the sound
of a thousand oceans
of sacred cantors
singing Hallelujah
Trumpeting certain joy
assured safety….
safe and sound….
in the Holy Sound
the seraphic song of
Immortal Devotion
Immortal Devotion
the Noble Joy
in the timeless now
lived now….
Devotion upon devotion
glory upon glory
grace upon grace
Immortal Life to Immortal Life
With no gap
no separation
Immortal Devotion
Supreme Love
Forever
Celebrate limitless Life
The Holy One
Immortal Devotion
The Noble Joy
