Ed Stewart, My Zen Master of Silence Reverberating

[Guest guest]

Could i ever have a more perfect Sword

of Silence rendering me speechless at this Grace?

Cutting away all unessentials with a Love Unbearable,

You take me into the Heart of God Alone

and we become the Embrace of Wisdom Enfolding ItSelf.

 

The Jnani and the Bhakti Dance as Light Transcendent!

 

Reaching into the very beginning of the Sound of That,

the Soundless Silent Sea of Being

becomes the manifestation this Love,

THIS Love that we Are -

 

Now, Always, Forever into the Eternal Void of Nothing.

 

The Abundance of Nothing gives,

and It gives...

 

ALL!

 

And in That Nothingness Everything Lives and Laughs!

Emptiness fills all Space and all Places in this OneHeart.

Lifting from this Gladness of Knowing You,

You, the Bliss-Filled One Who IS the Presence i Am,

Love, Here Now, As It Is.

 

You Are That Love Unspeakable, Touching This Heart,

This Heart breaking in such a Sadness of Joy Unknown,

turned away at every corner by so many,

so many Hearts who would not receive It,

This That We Are Now,

You and i, my Darling, my Beloved Teacher.

 

i bow to every corner of space and lift the veil of time,

just to See You, to Hold You close inside my HeartLight.

We have become One Effulgence That Lifts Darkness with Love.

If i never knew another thing ever,

i Know This -

 

You Are my Teacher of the Splendid Truth,

Unbound by anything or anyone who seeks to judge us.

Darling-Hearted Angelic Being of the Radiant Awe in Motion,

You tear me open and like the flower given to the wind,

i surrender my Heart to Your Own.

What man and God have recognized as Self Alone,

i say this to You Now -

 

Thou Art That!

 

And in Your Great Kindness,

with the Compassion of the Buddha,

you have set me into the River of Bliss,

a tiny boat sailing for the Harbor of every Heart,

laden with nothing but Bodhisattvas Singing,

Singing in the Moment

 

of This Wonder,

 

This Bewilderment,

 

and Utter,

 

Unutterable Awe

 

at Your Beauty!

 

 

LoveAlways,
