The air I am breathing was exhaled in ecstasy
By an ancient Sun.
This Earth I am standing on
Was born of cosmic fire.
The blood flowing through my veins
Is as salty as the primordial ocean.
The space permeating my body
Is infinite as the space all around.

Above, below, to all sides, within,
The elements of the universe
Are engaged in their ceremony of delight.

This is my religion-
The attraction between suns
Is the same
As the love pulsating in my heart.

– Radiance Sutra #34, translated by Lorin Roche

Sun Shine

Connect to the Earth.
We only have One.
This is our Home for now.
Let’s be here together.

Touch the dirt.
Feel the breeze
Meet the clouds.
Let the Sun Shine in.

Catch the gentle whispers.
Blessings abound.
Celebrate each miracle.

Life is offering you Ambrosia.
Accept the sweetness.
Open your senses, and
Bask in the delight of Now.
