There is but one ocean One infinite sky One vast presence One infinite reality Whichever way you turn It turns Whichever way you go It goes Whichever way you trend It trends And yet it is beyond going Beyond turning Beyond returning beyond trending So are you The one and only So are you Beyond comings and goings Beyond appearing and disappearing Beyond being and non being So are you Beyond birth and death Beyond arising and becoming So are you As the sun shines You shine As the rain falls You fall As the wind blows You blow And yet not a movement is recorded Not a tremble is manifested Not a wind is stirred What are you that you imagine yourself to be? What are you that you dream? Having forgotten your infinite wisdom Having overlooked your eternal beingness You are like an errand on a dream plateau Of your own making What is your destination? What is your purpose in this visit? Have you come over only to forget? Have you appeared only to reappear? Have you remembered only to disremember? I have heard your call I have devoted myself to you But it is not my doing. It is your doing through me I recognize your grace You have landed on my shoulder You have blessed me with your grace I know to whom the favor is due I recognize your touch and blessing I have no pride of my own I recognize you It is all your doing You are my guiding light. Now you speak through me I know that I don’t know what I speak I listen to you speaking You tell me that it is I that speaks But I know this I is yourself I recognize your voice and presence I recognize you And I wonder what I did to deserve you Then I realize it is all your doing It is all your blessing In everything and everyone You are I have died into you And I die again and again Unending dying How I love thee! May this song that you sing through me Reveal your grace and your love I am but a faint candle That dares to borrow your light.
