Prayer of Joy

Joy is the messenger, dear lord, that bears our prayers to Thee.

Prayer can be like incense, rising ever higher and higher, or it can be

like a low earth-mist clinging to the ground, never once soaring.

The Eye that sees all, the Ear that hears all, knows every cry.

But the prayer of real faith is the prayer of Joy, that sees and knows

the heart of Love it rises to greet and that is so sure of a glad response.

rise

by Dante

This mountain of release is such that the

ascent’s most painful at the start, below;

the more you rise, the milder it will be.

And when the slope feels gentle to the point that

climbing up sheer rock is effortless

as though you were gliding downstream in a boat,

then you will have arrived where this path ends.

sun and the moon

by Rumi

Persia (Afghanistan)

You’re in my eyes.

How else could I see light?

You’re in my brain.

This wild joy.

If love did not live in matter,

how would any place have

any hold on anyone?

Am I?

by Rumi Persia (Afghanistan)

I used to have a fiery intensity,

and a flowing sweetness.

The waters were illusion.

The flames, made of snow.

Was I dreaming then?

Am I awake now?

Desire makes no more loans.

Nothing Coming, nothing owned.

the One

by Shannondoah

divine 

Mother Father

rushes in,

river

like

flooding my

breath

when i pray

for you

every sense 

I have 

every cell,

all of spirit

tells me

you’re that one,

the one

all the stars

were singing

about it

telling me

stories

of my 

beloved

jewel

by Hafiz

Persia (Iran)

Wherever 

God lays His glance

life starts clapping.

The myriad

creatures grab their instruments

and join the song.

Whenever love makes itself known

against another

body.

The

jewel in the eye starts 

to

dance.

my heart opens

by Shannondoah

my heart opens

My heart 

     cracks open

like a dragon

     egg

never knowing

     how many doors

were closed

     and

how many windows

     were shut

My heart opens

     fully

     flooding me

with

     All There Is;

Love Divine

My heart opens

      wide and far,

beyond dimensions

      time and space

lighting it

      All Up

like a bright

      Star

My heart opens,

      Welcoming

me to my

      forever Home

and I witness

      my wings

Rise with

      glorious

evolution

      

To learn

by LALLA (India)

To learn the scriptures is easy,

to live them, hard.

The search for the Real

is no simple matter.

Deep in my looking,

the last words vanished.

Joyous and silent,

the waking that met me there.
