GIVING OCEAN

I

Wave upon wave
Giving ocean
wave upon wave
with your infinite love
you bathe the shores
of our souls.

Wave upon wave
day alter day
you see our longings
and meet our needs.

Yesterday a shielding wave
today one of Kindness,
wave upon wave
you shower and shower
your bounty, your Grace.

Instant by instant,
breath by breath,
the flow and passing
of your love waves within us
our hearts you bathe.

With waves cadenced
with loving waves,
a wave and one more wave
you overflow our souls
our Adored.


II

One move and another
a flapping of wings
and the bird soars in its flight.

A month and another,
season after season
and the seed is transformed
until becoming a grand tree.

Drop by drop,
leaf after leaf
cloud by cloud
you fill this creation
with your omnipresence,
most cherished Giver.

In your constant construction
moment to moment, Father,
with the Benevolence of your bequests
you saturate the created with excellence.


III

Breath after breath
a flutter of love from the Generous
a wave ascending
a wave descending,
tenderly you hold us.


For the wave that rises
for the wave that falls
from your breath within us,
we grow towards You, Life
Love Supreme, to You we soar.

Minute by minute
you make existence clear
your harmony enlivens us,
you are consciousness,
you are the joy of living.


IV

Bud after bud
blade after blade
you upholster in green tenderness
the carpet of your children.

Rose after rose
flower by flower
your sweet Generousity
expresses its uncontainable affection,
manifests its inexahustable perfection.

Wave and then another
Kindness after Kindness
your gifts to all, Father,
engulf us daily
with their nameless bounty.

Infinite Thanks
for your Perfect Kindness
Maker of all
loving Creator.

DIVINE WATCHMAKER

DIVINE WATCHMAKER

With rhythm and cadence
My exalted Watchmaker
Swings
The swing of my breath.
His soft compass
Consoles my being
Appeases a longing
To feel the Supreme.

Tick, tack, tick, tack
Second by second
Kindness of the Adored
Lovingly enlivens Time
And bequeaths me breath.

Tick, tack, tick, tack
An impulse of life
Comes and goes, comes and goes
To the swing of time
Yin, yang, yin, yang
For the love of the Supreme
It comes and goes, comes and goes.

I yearn and implore;
It is my greatest desire,
To feel I am in the hand
Of the Watchmaker I adore.

Like a pendulum
It comes and goes, comes and goes
The swing of my breath
Like a tick, tack, tick, tack
The swerve I inhale.

His Kindness fills me
His rhythm enchants me
To appreciate the second
Is to enjoy the moment
And to love his cadence
Is my great indulgence
My pleasure and legacy
From the Lofty Watchmaker.

KINDNESS SUPREME

It is our pleasure to present excerpts from Kindness Supreme, a book that expresses love to the Supremely Kind One and his majestic creation. It is a message of homage to God and his work.

This selection has been translated into English by Dahlia Raffin, an American residing in Buenos Aires.

MAJESTIC CREATION

MAJESTIC CREATION
The Creator dreamt of making a Globe that would revolve in a magical dance in the middle of the universe to share, in that way, his great Love.
So he gathered his wonders and revealed them with all his might.
for Firmness - he asked his rocks to inhabit this Globe.
From the primordial light - he implored celestial fire to make the powerful sun.
From the universal sea, he obtained yielding waters for life’s sake.
From the solar energy, he requested its rays to upholster the planet in green.
And when with his grace the Creator arranged each detail for the coming of his beloved children, the wind transformed into melody amidst the trees and the light became a wonderful source of joy for the human race.
And when He came to his revolving Globe, his greatest concern was to give each one of his beloved sons all the excellence of his Love.

BUTTERFLY

LONGING

Butterfly so lovely
queen of the air
that swiftly soars
upon the highest winds.

One day you were a caterpillar
and God, who is so wise,
kept in you the dream
of becoming a winged being.

Had He placed in us the same longing
to be transformed by his light
from worldly beings-
to beings of dreams?

ORIGIN

The Infinite Ocean of calm
Sheer energy
floated in His glory
before the existence of time.
In His Kindness Supreme
He shared His essence,
created the universe,
and by His Eminent Grace
dwelled in our breath.

BELOVED

TENDERNESS
There is a child in my soul
who adores the memory
of his beloved Father.

There is a Creator of dawn
who awards his son with
the most beautiful fragrance
of all flowers,
and tells him,
“I always love you.”
with each breath.

POWERFUL THREAD OF LOVE

INFINITY
In your Divine dominion creatures display their play with grace.
Your infinite Kindness fills with beauty each form. A powerful thread of Love knits them all.

WITHIN

LOVE SUBLIME
In turbulent sea, you are my anchor
in torment, my peace;
in your remembrance is my bliss
and at your feet, my abode.

DIVINITY
In the kingdom of my heart
within the peace inside of me
you inspire an awareness
past reason,
beyond thought.

In each breath you visit me
in each moment your love is there
for all of this I thank you
wondrous Creator.

KING

You, King of Heart - Being sublime, your Kindness is so great; your splendor is such that wise men say it is worth waiting at the threshold of your palace, until the door is opened.
Those who raise their sight towards that vast interior remain dazzled.
Oh, King! May we know such bliss!

PERCEPTION

PERCEPTION
When I feel you, Kindness,
the rose bush offers me its choicest perfume,
spring seeks to reflect your Essence
and the joyful breeze dances.
Upon feeling you
your light floods me
your peace enchants me
your joy beckons me
to enjoy the remembrance
of the flower of my soul.
When the wind
bears your resonance
life dances
the spirit shines
and the earth sings.
