Now master let your servant go in peace, because my eyes have seen your salvation.
Which you have prepared for all the nations to see, a light, the glory of Israel.
The sign gives hope but cannot remove temptation.
Not the smallest part of our life is immaterial.

What is the difference between meditation and contemplation.
Meditation is something we have to work out.
As gentle as dew falling on a summer morning is contemplation.
Enlightenment is always there, we do not need to seek it out.

I was dreaming now, rain spattered on the roof, the harsh wind blew.
Worries, regrets surfaced as always and came and went.
Then I saw as if for real, there fell a heavenly soothing dew.
This was no longer a gusting winter storm outside, summer, its warmth had sent.

There was no need to water faith’s garden.
I had only need to ask for pardon.
