Strain Forwards

So much is forgotten - The essence of life Drifting into the past While the spirit strains Forwards into a future Of experience That is sudden And simultaneously profound.

Grace in the Emptiness

Moments of Revelation

~ There are those moments Of revelation . When the spirit Awakens . To new aspects Of experience . Of darkness Or of light . May we cherish Those times of yearning . Till they become A source of grace . And endless Soulful learning. ~

Connect With All That Links The Soul

. God is In all things . God was In darkness . And in Mystery . The silent voices Speaking to me . In bleak and blank Experience . To leave The solitary soul . Connect with all That links . To infinities Of consolation . The blessing Of the spirit's life . And long …
