Ineffable Bliss

Sharing expressions... reflections... explorations... mingling.. merging.. expanding... resting... Life... LOVE... HEART... radiating... everywhere...


"When the ocean comes to you as a lover... marry at once... quickly, for God's sake! Existence has no better gift. No amount of searching will find this..." Rumi

****

Between the conscious and the unconscious,
the mind has put up a swing:

all earth creatures, even the supernovas,
sway between these two trees,
and it never winds down.

Angels, animals, humans, insects by the million,
also the wheeling sun and moon;
ages go by, and it goes on.

Everything is swinging; heaven, earth, water, fire,
and the secret one slowly growing a body.

Kabir saw that for fifteen seconds, and it made him a servant for life.

~Kabir
