Diving into
The sweetest essence
That is the nature
Of you
All time stops
In the old existence
We see this
In a new point
Of perception
In the universe
Newly created
In the passion
Of the sweetest essence
That is the very nature
Of us
Returning
After a time
We are changed
Forever
Father God,
Fill us with the desire to grow strong
But also with the recognition
That all strength is from You
And feed our desire
Love is flowing from Your hand
Through the hearts of Your children
It pervades and permeates all that is
All that was and all that will be
Grant us the grace to forgive
Let us not seek to be made whole
Wholeness comes only from You
Forgiveness opens anew our hearts
All the gifts in store for us
Set loose this brave new day
Open our eyes to see, our hands to receive
From You all good gifts flow forever
Give to us the peace of clarity
We seek to know Your face
Shield our eyes from humanity’s noise
Take us into Your presence
And as we become bathed in Your peace
Let us shine that peace on the world
You have created us to love You
Guide us to this perfect fate
Strengthen, too, our acceptance
Remind us that all is as You have designed
Teach us in the way of calm compassion
Let us help to still the pond of existence
Teach us to sing Your wondrous praises
Fill us with Your grand and quiet love
Grant us the mind of pure Light
That we might shine through Your children
Lead us, Father, to a heart of graciousness
Fill us with a perfect sense of acceptance
Flood us in Your forever divine love
Let us enjoy the peace of Your heart
Amen
Water flows through the river of the valley
Twisting and bending and following her form
It knows no other way to exist
Carves her as it flows without end
Deepening of the ancient landscape
Unfamiliar and old and new and changing
Constantly moving toward an unseen place
Nature of existence, dance of water and land
Approaching the great sea, landscape changes
Smoother and wider and calmer, peaceful flow
River and land, land and river, calm bay, warm beach
All is well as the sun draws the water from the earth
Rains will come again, washing mountains, valley, sea
Be at peace in the perfect knowledge of the great circle
All is precisely as it is supposed to be in this moment
For the waters and the dirt and the rivers and the land
Secrets dwell
in the viper’s hollow chest
as he slithers on
into the cavernous darkness
Hell’s fury
is his in foreverness
as he contemplates the lack
of his existence
Alone in the depths
solitary mind creates
all manner of quiet and dark
moments of nothing
Love is the connection, the power, the presence, the essence. Love is the divine force that draws you to me. Love is attraction. Love seeks Love. You pine for me because you pine for Love. You desire to be One with Creation, with Source, with God. Romantic love is but a portion of Divine Love. Romantic love in the presence of God results in Divine Love. You were created in Love. The end of the journey is Love. This existence is the travel back to Love. To seek Love is natural and normal and your destiny. You feel Love more strongly than others because you are awake. Love is the connection of you and me and God in Divine Unity.
