The Kingdom of God is here and now

The towering tree spreads his greening canopy
–A veil between the soil and sky–
Not in selfish vanity,
But the gentle thrush to shade and shelter.
So it is with love.

For when we love,
Simply love,
Even as we are loved,
Our weary world can be transformed.

The busy thrush builds her nest below
–A fortnight’s work to weave and set–
Not for herself alone,
But her tender brood to shield and cherish.
And so it is with love.

For when we love,
Simply love,
Even as we are loved,
Our weary world can be transformed
Into the Kingdom of God!

💜🙏

so very blessed

aren’t our manifestations

so unspeakably blessed

to remember

it is only the Divine

singing through us

Thought of Thoughts, and Light of Lights,
Breath of Breaths, and Night of Nights?

💜🙏

Awake, My Soul
