DEEP SEA SAILOR ON THE OCEAN OF LOVE Storms rage over us, One after another. I stay huddled inside for Days and nights on end, Glad for the warmth of the Fire in the big wood stove and The sheltering wings of This vast old house. The world seems to pass by Outside our gate And yet loneliness is my Only ever-present companion. My heart is a stormy space Too well acquainted with loss— And yet with each passing storm A resilience arises and my own spirit’s Inner love continues to grow like Wild roses on the cold mountain heights As I turn this aching emptiness inside into solitude And learn to love and cherish my own self As I build a living love relation ship And set sail on the infinite ocean of love— For I am a deep sea sailor Roving where the big storms live… No longer afraid of howling waves and wind— For I know even after the wildest night, The sun will return to warm and uplift This battered but unbroken heart again.

A SPECIAL SONG FOR YOU FROM CHINMAYAN”S INSPIRATIONAL PLAYLISTS…
“Truth and Love” by DJ Taz Rashid
I have been using uplifting music in our personal prayer and meditation practice to tune and attune myself up to a higher vibration of divine consciousness since the beginning of my own spiritual journey in the 1960’s.
I have been seeking for the very best and sweetest songs and bhajans for this purpose for many years…and compiling playlists of mind expanding and heart opening songs from all over the world….
Now, I will share a new song from these playlists here in every new issue of “The Dawning Light’s” Journey of the Heart Section….
May your heart fly open and your spirit soar on wings of song!

DEAR DAWNING LIGHT FAMILY—-
I am speaking to all our Dawning Light family from my heart…to all the ones who are getting value, inspiration and support from our daily issues of transformational writing, poetry and stories…there is so much more that I want to do to radically enhance and expand this work…but but I need your help!
I live very simply here at our Still Mountain Retreat, as frugally as possible… so that I can dedicate as much time and focus as I can get to writing and publishing this labor of love.
I believe that this work is important because this newsletter is something rare and unique which truly makes a difference in the lives of our family of readers.
My heart has been touched and I am encouraged to hear that for so many, reading this newsletter each morning helps them start their day inspired with a positive and grateful attitude.
Unfortunately, Still Mountain’s meager income isn’t enough to allow me to be full time, 100% focused on expanding this work.
Please consider helping me become free to do this important work every day.
I am asking you to click on the button below and check out all the benefits and bonuses I am offering as REWARDS for taking the bold step of becoming a “Dawning Light” Inner Circle Member as one of my treasured and greatly appreciated paid subscribers!
If even just a small percentage of the hundreds of our “Dawning Light” folks pledged to send us just $5.00 a month, it would be enough to cover our expenses so that I could fulfill my lifelong dream to be a full time transformational writer and publisher.
I believe and many of you tell me, that the world needs “The Dawning Light” to reach all the people who need it on a daily basis.
Please help me make this happen…
Please consider becoming one of my supporters and Inner Circle today!
Lovingly,
Chinmayan, writer and publisher
