The Wave in the Ocean (adapted from a talk given by Swami Sarvapriyananda)


A wave floating upon the ocean

of conciousness

I know the end is near

for I see the shore ahead

upon which I will crash

and become droplets of ocean spray

flying way up high

in the sky

only

to fall to earth

again as a wave

in the ocean

only to die again when I hit the shore

in a seemingly endless cycle of births and deaths and rebirths

until a sunbeam enlightens

and the I

evaporates

and finally will be vaster than the ocean

in the infinite consciousness of space

no more to be reborn.

My husband recounts a story of being a little boy riding in the backseat of his parents car and blowing kisses to the telephone polls because they looked so lonely.


The Silent Cathedral


Christmas card 2

Listen

to the silence

of the trees

they communicate

in ways

 science knows not

yet

and

the fog and the snow and the mist

 the incense

suffusing

 the silent cathedral
