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”
