The light that breaks the night

When the mind is pure, joy follows

like a shadow that never leaves."

The Buddha (C563-483 BCE), India

 

 

A

 

river of light

 

breaks the night

 

A silent bolt of thunder

 

reveals the beauty of wonder

 

Awareness is already here

 

boundless and clear 

 

Rocklike knowing

 

is

 

silently glowing

 

Among the trees of wisdom

 

hidden birds are clearly singing

 

You are

 

never apart

 

from the true joy of Heart
