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…
“It is Well” (live version) by Kristene DiMarco
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…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!
