FINDING SWEET SANCTUARY On Prayer Mountain Night covers the earth On swiftly beating wings… Radiant swirling mist Flows over dry grass And red stones while An owl flies low overhead In rapid punctuated swoops As I climb a shoulder Of Prayer Mountain In the gathering darkness. I feel like a traveler Returning from Far journeys, returning To my true home, Though it has No walls or roof and Is open to the cold Starry sky— For on this mountain I meet and commune with My heart’s Father and Mother And open myself to knowing The warmth of their love Flowing within me. I must frequently climb this Jagged pile of rocks, Hidden from men And hard to get to, to The sweet secret sanctuary High on the western peak… Just as I am doing now As this night Comes on so quickly— To renew myself, to recreate My connection with the Divine, To hear and see and feel And know the soft presence Of the Beloved who gently Illuminates the rest of life That still waits for me At the foot of the mountain. October 25, 1984
