ETERNAL TRUTH


FROM ALL
In each being you glisten
And in each heart
Your love is generous
What a splendid Father!

PRODIGIOUS
Amazing Creative Power
Eternal universal love
You diffuse life in quantities
and are present in all.

You are fulfillment and respite
Maker of time
King Supreme.

What jewel accompanies me
What sweet sentiment
To love this existence
And adore this moment.

REMINICIENSE
When I call you
Cherished Creator,
You unlock a window of light
In my inner sky.

ETERNAL TRUTH
Your Sun of omnipresence
Lights the universe.
You exist in each part
And in all time.
Resort of the created
Like a mother you guard all.

SWEET PROTECTION
Supreme fascination
Serene sentiment
Sweetness that dissolves
All arising pain.

Ever present presence
Wise delicate magic.

Realized dream
Generous breath
Miraculous life
Menevolent bequest.

Admirable Creator
To do your will
Fulfill your dreams
What a supreme bliss!
What a precious enjoyment!
I bid you thanks
Mighty Father.

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.

GRATITUDE TO THE SUPREME



And to awake, at the rise of dawn, with a winged heart, giving thanks for one more day of love.


-Jalil Gibran

Had you bequeathed me only the moon
I would have given you all my kisses.
But now that you offer me the universe
I am yours completely.

Our beloved, the presents you offer the heart are so esteemed.

Amongst many others we thank you for:
Consciousness, to marvel in You.
Love, to express it to you.
The tenderness of your care.
Your exquisite blessings.
The joy of your affection.
The ecstasy of feeling you.

Your Truth, which we can experience.
The wisdom you impart.
Your supreme peace so refined.
Your ever so delicious contentment.
The constant protection you offer us.
Your sweetness which soothes the inner thirst.
Your omnipresent Grace.
The infinite brightness of your Eyes.
The contemplation you invite us to, each day.

Eternal gratitude to your infinite Kindness for creating and preserving in each moment this colossal universe.

Thanks for a sunny or a rainy day
A calm or tempestuous sea
A smooth or rocky beach
For water in drops or in streams.

Who has the grateful sentiment of a child when presenting a gift to his dear mother! Who has that feeling towards You, Love Supreme!

We admire your infinite love and the longing that we would love you too.

How fascinating is the Divine play in which we are to look for you and where You so wish to reveal yourself.

For this beautiful universe
So majestic in every detail.

Waves of gratitude
Engulf my heart

Most beloved Giver.

ADMIRABLE
You paint the rose and grant her scent.

You share with me the wonders of your planet.
So with reverence,
Thank You, Incomparable,
For your ineffable love.

SURRENDER
You, Emperor of heaven,
You give me each star
Each light and each sun
How fine, then, to offer you
All my devotion.

SPELL-BOUND
I am spell-bound
By the chanting of birds
The murmur of springs
Delicious flavors
And the colors of flowers.

Thanks for great Masters of love like Buddha,
Socrates or Mohamed, who had unveiled such precious
revelations.

How precious is the humility of your Greatness, which does not impose, but beckons its discovery.

Thanks for placing in the heart the joy of seeking you and the satisfaction of finding you.

Gratitude to the Giver is named as one of the doors to supreme bliss.

Thanks for creating needs and a way to fulfill them:
For thirst, water
For cold, heat
For fatigue, sleep
For homelessness, shelter
For ignorance, knowledge
For hate, love
For the inner thirst, the light of your words.
