Rain Music Soft rain falls gently in the night, A rolling symphony of beguiling and Comforting wet cadence that Feels sacred, sweet and right. I lay in bed— exhausted From the labors of overheated Morning and afternoon, with the door Open so that I can hear The music of the rain. As the world turns in increasing strain To the violence and threats To our survival, largely Made by our own hand, This rainy night is testament to All the good in life. As I lie in bed, too tired To even think of raising my weary body, I send my spirit out to dance Among the raindrops and misty wind, Inspired, uplifted and confident that As long as these rare summer rains Come to bolster our flagging belief, I am certain that even in These dark times, the greater Part of ourselves will prevail and All of humanity will come to Live in radiant love and light.

Destiny of Flight Mornings come and mornings go, And in each one that Comes to me, I reach out With my hands and my heart For the Light which Must be brought to earth, And within, within for the Love That needs to be set abroad. In this, I am just like a Great bird resting high in a pine Through a long cold winter night For the dawn I know must come, Waiting for the sun to bring the day I fulfill my destiny of flight Over this troubled world in pain, Seeking the ways I may help Even if it is just in inspiring Others to remember their own wings And that they were born to soar Up into the vast sky that awaits Their feathered ascension into freedom From tangled earthbound points of view… As I fly, my prayer for all of you Is to remember who you are and what to do. December 15, 1986

Soul Nectar Whenever I return To being fully present, Right here, right now…. I instantly rise Up into a state of Peaceful, Flowing, Blissful And Ever expanding Loving awareness That soothes my soul and Releases me from suffering, Pain and fear. Secret Sanctuary In the sanctuary of being present… In consciously bringing myself back To being here and now in this very moment, I enter a state of silent stillness That is my own heart’s secret sanctuary On the edge of the dawning of the inner Light. —Chinmayan

“If you are not living in the present moment, you are missing 99% of the richness of your life experience, as if your world was a flat two dimensional black and white version of the full color multi dimensional world as it really is. Always remember, the only thing that is truly ours is this very present moment.” —Chinmayan
