A wonderful quote of Yours from a half-century ago.
I prefer the gesture You made this morning over breakfast –
the gesture of love and forgiveness:
a welling up from the heart, an overflowing
pulled from the chest by Your lovely hands.
After all these years, I no longer come to You
for guidance; I come to You for companionship.
You give what cannot be taught . . . or learned.
Courage, poise, faith, patience – these qualities
do not enter the heart through ear nor eye.
Awakening involves being broken open.
What words can accomplish that?
O child of God, words of the Avatar are precious gems,
but His companionship is the treasure without equal.
(from The Garden of Surrender, 2004)
