OM SHANTI OM* FINDING MY WAY TO INNER PEACE POWERED BY LOVE FROM ABOVE Rising from my bed Of restless dreams, Where I wandered all night, Trying to remember How to find my way— Like being deep underwater, Desperately trying to swim Up to the surface to just Take a single breath of air Before I drowned in those Cold dark depths alone— Rising from my bed Before dawn stretches the sky, I stumble to my secret place Of prayer and raise my eyes Towards the heavens As my voice cries out For divine help to soar Up and away from those Fears and pains which still Afflict my heart and mind. This spiritual path demands The very best I have to give And must be walked honestly In the stark light of truth Powered by love from above As I am called to face Even the darkest parts of Myself—the ones carrying So much pain that only A brave and determined warrior Can survive and make it through. My eyes flood with grateful tears To feel the sweet touch of My Lord within who will Never abandon me, who Is ever beside me whispering In my inner ear so lovingly… “My son, I am here now As I have always been And will always be— Take my hand as I lead You through every storm All the way to the promised Land where you will Live in Love alone And the sweet freedom Of eternal communion with Me.” May 10, 2023 Still Mountain Retreat *Om Shanti Om is the mantra of inner peace— “Om”is directly invoking the presence of the Divine Through tuning yourself up to the Divine’s frequency and vibration “Shanti” is Sanskrit for “eternal peace— the peace so deep, so profound, So pervasive that has no limits or end— “the peace that passeth all understanding”

A SWEET AND BEAUTIFUL SONG FOR YOU….
This is a beautiful version of an ancient Sanskrit chant…Try chanting along with the chorus and then singing it during your daily life! See my translation of it’s meaning in the poem above.
The purpose of this mantra is to achieve a state of mind blessed with “a peace beyond all understanding!

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!
