always there

I have come

to take you by my hand, ....

and bring you to myself

I have come

to shine your way

as you walk this path ....

I will make you guiltless,

I will make you fearless,

then I will place you in the

brightest point in the universe ....

I have come

like a breeze of spring

to your field of flowers,

so I can hold you by my side,

and embrace you tight ....

I have come

to shine your way

as you walk this path.

Like the cry of lovers,

I will help you reach the

roof of heavens ....

From the dust

of earth to a human being,

there are a thousand steps.

I have been with you through these steps,

I have held your hand ... and walked by your side ....

And I will be with you

as you move beyond this human form

and soar to the highest heavens. "

- Mewlana RUMI

The Sacred comes into the world

To cleanse us

And love us

And to guide us along the way

When we lose our way

And we often do

We are gently reminded of Sacred love

Which wraps itself around us in the gentle wind

In the brightness of the son

It the brilliance of flowers

We are held in strong arms

And comforted and forgiven

Calmed until we are once again

Secure, and at peace.

Each step of the way, the Sacred is there

Always there

Through life

Through death

Always walking with us

To whatever is next

Always there
