Enlightening lessons in lessening light
Unravelling passions that bind the heart tight
Unfolding enfoldment will conquer self-will
Sophia will clear and empty to fill.
Garden Temple lament

Let my thoughts flee their guest
Wash deep desire within
With internal soft caress
Watch mind and earth-body grow
A garden temple view
Where this guest can find sweet sanctuary
And rest with heart in You.

knuckles rubbing
nudging, moulding
earth bound clay
touching flesh tips

warming thoughts

Glow garbed flame
And I read further that long ago ‘souls collect atoms of radiance‘ and that ‘glow, garbed with a flame came’ to the lips of a Persian poet. And that now humankind dreams to transform and connect again in metaphor through mountainside and monastery with candle, match and lamp at hand.
