We live in succession, in division, in parts, in particles. Meantime within man is the soul of the whole; the wise silence; the universal beauty, to which every part and particle is equally related; the eternal ONE. And this deep power in which we exist, and whose beatitude is all accessible to us, is not…

MYSTICAL POEMS: “In the End: The Beginning” by Jay Ramsay
“In the End: The Beginning” There is something in the end there is no avoiding That is more present than breath, than self, than distraction More present than this moment? Yes, even that — Even than all those birds perched high in the Tree of Heaven That broke into all your wondering — even than…
SPIRITUAL POEMS: “Jesus: Then & Now” by Trina Graves
Two thousand years ago
Jesus was physical on Earth
Heralding a great change
Starting with a miraculous birth
Spirituality from Daily Word: “Inner Peace” (Espiritualidad de La Palabra Diaria: “Paz Interna”)
Inner Peace Spirit within is the source of my peace. I may look at another person’s life and consider, Is their way what I want for myself? When I view my situation through the light of understanding, I see how Spirit has personalized my life story—making it uniquely my own. I choose to see…
MYSTICAL POEMS: “Song of not-being and being” by Ghalib
Song of not-being and being The world is no more than the Beloved’s single face; In the desire of the One to know its own beauty, we exist. Each place, each moment, sings its particular song of not-being and being. Without reason, the clear glass equally mirrors wisdom and madness. Those who claim knowledge are…
SHORT POEMS: “Time” by William Shakespeare
Time Time is very slow for those who wait; very fast for those who are scared; very long for those who lament; very short for those who celebrate; but for those who love, time is eternal. William Shakespeare
Spirituality from Daily Word: “Divine Love” (Espiritualidad de la Palabra Diaria: “Amor Divino”)
Divine Love I am a channel through which divine love flows. In any of my relationships, it serves me well to remember that the love I am experiencing on a human level is not the same as in the spiritual realm. Love on a human level can be fleeting, while divine love is unconditional,…
MYSTICAL POEMS: “Knowing”
Knowing What is this Exquisite Presence, Shining Radiant in The Heart, This Dissolution of duality, This Wellspring of Ecstasy, This Fullness and Completion, In which time, space, and myself, Dissolve in Formless Rapture? I don’t know. Is it not “Consciousness”? I don’t know. Is it not “God”? I don’t know. Is it not the “Soul”?…
POEMS: “Journey without end”
Journey Without End
I eschew the implied finality,
And the exalted loftiness,
Of words like “enlightened” or “awakened”.
SPIRITUAL POEMS: “In The Deepest Heart of Being”
In The Deepest Heart of Being There is a Place, In the Deepest Heart of Being, Where mountains rise so high, They look down upon Heaven. The sky there… Such a deep, rich blue, Stars… Sparkling in daylight, Light your Way. Soft breezes, Fragrant, With Fullness, Completion, and Bliss, Gentle your Soul, And you breathe…
SPIRITUAL POEMS: “The Rose Unseen”
The Rose Unseen I find it difficult to discard, Plants which are near to death, Failing, whatever the cause may be, For I, too, was once near death, Saved only by the Beloved Gardener. The legalists, the jurists of religion, Would have tossed my Soul aside, Onto the heap of the irredeemable, Deeming further…
POEMS: “Journey of Return” (about death and dying)
Journey of Return When the Beloved wants to take you Home, extend your hand to His welcoming even though your body may be trembling and your mind may want to flee; even though those around you grieve, and you yourself have mourned, even before they, the changing form of your body. Tears are not the…
