The Mood Of Shiva |

The sea has many changes. It is the mood of Shiva...the dance of his breath - the rise and fall of worlds before his touch. It is the mystery known...and of that which remains unknowable. Stripped to the bareness of our intimacies - We stand naked before this sea...yearning always towards the farthest shore. And seek to cloak ourselves in prayers of safe passage. The sea has many changes. Yet there is stillness in its depths. We offer ourselves to that which stands changeless - And face the sea together...as the water parts before our touch. |

Though there may be ripples on the surface, life is peaceful and still within. Beautiful... thought-provoking... illuminating the way for soul searching, finding that sweet inner peace- something we all desperately need about now. Thank you... Love, Moca |

(big hugggsssssss) And the ticket to ride is to dive for pearls deep in the stillness of the waters, for only when we embrace the calm waters will we ever achieve justice! (sigh) This is absolutely wonderful, sweet friend, you have my peaceful vote, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Eric, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

You masterfully create this place where stillness and oneness with the Divine breath make us strong, filled with peace, trust and hope. May I hold your hand while we face the sea together? Love, Margherita |

There is so much depth in the sea, and I feel I felt the same depth through this poem, great writing. Sometimes we have to follow a stronger voice, even if it's silent. |
