celebration

by LALLA (India)

Playfully you hid from me.

All day I looked.

Then I discovered

I was you,

and the celebration

of That began.

One instant is eternity;

eternity is the now.

When you see through this one instant,

you see through the one who sees.

storm

by Shannondoah

you feel like

a storm

you feel like

the wind

you feel like

the rain

you feel like

wild change

as powerful as

an eclipse,

the full moon,

every equinox,

and each 

solstice

like the sun,

warm

brightening

everything

path

by Mirabai (India)

O friends on this Path,

my eyes are no longer my eyes.

A sweetness has entered through them,

has pierced through to my heart.

For how long did I stand in the house of this body

and stare at the road?

My Beloved is a steeped herb,

he has cured me for life.

Mira belongs to Giridhara, The One who lifts all,

and everyone says she is mad.

dearest

by Shannondoah

dearest twin flame,

to get to you

find my way to you

looking for you

i stop.

i acknowledge unity

i become ‘the remembering’

i am here

totally complete.

we are already

here

there’s no where

to look,

nothing

to find

you’ve been

here the

whole time

inside my heart

within my soul

where there is

love,

we are together.

alleluia

by Hildegard of Bingen

(Germany)

Translated by Barbara Newman

Alleluia! light

burst from your untouched

womb like a flower

on the farther side

of death. The world-tree

is blossoming. Two

realms become one.
