To Krishna

Still your mind in me, still yourself in me, and without a doubt you shall be united with me, Lord of Love, dwelling in your heart. from the Bhagavad Gita as written by Lord Krishna

the following poem I offer as inspiration on the path of yoga and was written after reflecting on Lord Krishna's teaching quoted above; the poem was offered to me through silent meditation in Reverence and Grace on the image of Krishna

In the still of this present moment
I intentionally bring my mind to stillness
in the image of You, Krishna

I have no hesitation in turning over any pain
or joy to You

You are the majestic night star that hangs
and glows overhead

Krishna there is no other moment beyond this One
where I continuously dedicate this love and life
to You
   so that I may live in Freedom and Light

By Your grace and peace I live
aligning with the deeper truth
that You are in my and in all hearts

Whether I am on the mat or off
writing words or thinking thoughts
my mind adrift or present
I know You are there
constantly guiding me back

Breath by Breath
You guide me
    Back to You
    Back to Now
    Back to this
Divine Dancing Singing Joyful Play
that is You

Alive Here Right Now


Jai Jai Jai
