The world looks in a ll directions…by Gregory Orr
This poem appears in Gregory Orr’s collection Concerning the Book
That Is the Body of the Beloved, published by Copper Canyon Press,

The world looks in all directions…
The world looks
In all directions
Like that vase
Of chrysanthemums
On the table.
But the beloved
Looks only at you.
How easy to choose.
Yes, the flowers
Are beautiful,
But the beloved’s gaze
Makes you beautiful, too.

To Find God
If nothing that can be seen ... [is] God ... then to find God we must pass beyond everything that can be seen and enter into darkness. Since nothing that can be heard is God, to find Him we must enter into silence. ~Thomas Merton, New Seeds of Contemplation, p. 131
Let me enjoy darkness and silence at least every night before sleep ... and bask in the ever-present mystery that is verily not I ... and that sustains me in being. ~jpc
From and to ... and in between. Namaste.
