The ones you loved,
they love you still,
and always, always will.
The parent who almost never cared,
friends, lovers blind to a soul you bared,
and God we place too far to feel…
“They” always, always will.

The full moon speaks:
“My” light seems bright;
I’m naught without our Sun.
And he, in turn, a mortal star,
just borrows from our Source not far.
Eternal Presence through us.
Not many. Only One.

Breathe now. Just breathe.
Coordinate.
One system, all our lungs.
Worship no one.
Only our One.
Only our One.

Such deep devotion
to our One.

💜🙏

The goal lies away from the sensual world. It is not a rejection of the sensual world, but understanding it so well that we no longer seek it as an end in itself. We no longer expect the sensory world to satisfy us. We no longer demand that sensory consciousness be anything other than an existing condition that we can use skillfully according to time and place.

How could they ever understand
you do not fight conventions

They’ve fought to just fit in

If we expect they appreciate
the preciousness of yeast
it is our own eyes that reflect
their unseen contrived beast

Forgive the world, forget it
Recreate it in God’s love

Before rest, thoughts be sweetest
We’ll greet the brightest dawn

experiencing the Divine in whom we live

The importance of silence for Pärt is paramount:

“Before one says something, perhaps it is better to say nothing. My music has emerged only after I have been silent for quite some time, literally silent. For me, ‘silent’ means the ‘nothing’ from which God created the world. Ideally, a silent pause is something sacred…”

He relates this silence to love:

“If someone approaches silence with love, then this might give birth to music. A composer must often wait a long time for his music. This kind of sublime anticipation is exactly the kind of pause that I value so greatly.”

[…]

[and from the article’s conclusion:]

If the space one inhabits and draws inspiration and music from is an experience of the Divine in whom we live, move and have our being, then surely some of that breath of life and love passes through (as with all love experiences), in the most human-divine way possible, to those who listen? Or even further: revelation tells us that God is present, always; faith is the doorway that opens our eyes to discover and experience that presence. Perhaps the space that is opened by this music somehow draws or gathers people into that place inhabited by God’s Spirit, with whom, for a time, we amicably, even if unknowingly, make three tents and dwell for a while.

From Maeve Louise Heaney’s article
Can Music “Mirror” God?
A Theological-Hermeneutical Exploration of Music
in the Light of Arvo Pärt’s Spiegel im Spiegel

Listening to this is enough;
if you feel like humming along, an even more
wonderfully healing experience may be awaiting you.
