"A Nidus of Infinite Devotion" Sunrise April 8, 2014

An angelic form calmly passing in front of and just out of reach of the raging ocean. 
Close enough to feel it's wrath, distant enough to remain untouched.

Out of the formless void
Prior to thought, beyond thought,
This Maya is spoken into form.
Out of the heart of emptiness
Suffused with unspeakable love,
Awareness, wrapped in awareness,
Dancing as living consciousness,
Precipitates as just this:
Right here, right now.

Not separate from all here, all now,
This moment is a nidus of infinite devotion,
In a web of infinite care,
Infinite compassion.
Rising from the depths of being,
Ordinary human capabilities are suffused
With gentleness and light
The moment the heart opens to receive.
