I ... entered the poem of life, whose purpose is ... simply to witness the beauties of the world, to discover the many forms that love can take. (Barabara Blackman in 'Glass After Glass')

Take a Breath

Imagine a star,
high and golden.
From each point, light 
radiates out, focuses in

on our world … 
this country … 
this town …

into this very room –
into you, filling you,
filling your heart. 
Breathe it in deeply!

Now, from our hearts,
we send forth
light.

  6. Wonderful meditation. Even with differing beliefs, most traditions relate to this breath of LIGHT and use it for their meditation. There is so much more unity than divisiveness if only we have open minds.
