ANSWERING THE CALL OF MY INNER BELOVED I hear my inner Beloved calling me Clearly and insistently all through This long, dark and frightening night Of the soul that I am going through. This life can be so hard, So confusing, so heart breaking And so cruel that it is no wonder That I keep getting lost in the fray. I have had to endure so much pain Since I took incarnation in this body— So much rejection, betrayal and loss That it is tough for this spirit to survive. And yet, the wisest thing I have Ever done is to pray and listen and Answer the calling in my heart Of my own sweet Beloved within— To answer this clear incessant calling To come hither and rise in prayer, Taking refuge inside now and forever At the lotus feet of my sweet Lord. There is no respite for me anywhere Except in this growing love relationship With the One who has always Loved, cared, guided and graced me. I have already seen that the attractive Things of this world are just Alluring dancing mirages of misery like Licking honey from a sharp razor’s edge. So for me, I have long been clear That the solution to every difficulty, The healing of every heartbreaking pain Can only be found in our ever Growing divine relationship within.

A WONDERFUL HEART SONG I WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU TODAY!
This sweet kirtan, which is a mixture of jazz, blues and techno trance all in one absorbing chanting of the mantra “Jai Ma” (May Divine Mother Have Victory Over My Inner Dark Forces!!!) is my current favorite which I have on repeat. Give it a listen, stay with it through the mysterious intro until Janet starts singing with a full and longing heart…SO GOOD!
“Jai Ma” By Janet Stone and DJ Drez
