Soulful Sadhak

  I ran into the ground of my Being yesterday It smacked me in the face while i wasn’t paying attention As the ground rose up from under my feet I fell down touching the Earth and felt Her soft embrace The air was pressed from my lungs A heavy weight lifted from my chest I could breathe freely again While the Earth stood still my head stopped spinning my legs stopped running I was stuck to the ground Where were You when my head was in the clouds swept away by the winds? How did i lose touch? In the midst of my depravity The sky came down on me And as i circled back into Your gravity I was blessed to encounter reality

 This is a new song i wrote, inspired by Plum Village and the mystical poetry of old. In Plum Village, we have this saying: 'to be a drop in the Sangha (community) river' and to 'flow with the Sangha'. This led me to writing this song:       Lyrics   Into You i want to flow and of my self to let go To be one with the waves Any peril i can brave    I will stand through the storm Here i will die and be reborn Won’t you join hands with me as we dive into the sea        CHORUS Sea of love, take me Sea of love, wake me Sea of love   To be a drop in Your ocean Letting go of every notion Swaying only with Your motion Is the most profound emotion   To find the greatest love Far below is high above In these waters i will drown Deeper deeper i go down        CHORUS   To go beyond birth and death from my first to my last breath Sea you are my womb and sea you’ll be my tomb        CHORUS ...
