“… In this moment, the world dances with me And time stands still …” ~ Jonathan Ellerby
In this moment, the world dances with me
And time stands still
In this place, everything glows
With an inner fire
I close my eyes for a moment,
Enter the familiar motion
Like an embrace
Open my heart, and suddenly
Everything has meaning again
Compassion and Wisdom
Ripen before me and I drink the nectar
This is more than hope,
More than wishful thinking
This sacred act is
The fulfillment of 10,000 dreams
I move so deeply
Into this body, into this breath,
This simple act is a doorway
Something within me dissolves
I know everything I have is Yours
Even the idea that I have an existence
without You Vanishes
Here I release the questions,
Here I give up the search
Here I give in to You and
The perfection of this moment
Takes me deeper and deeper
Into a Love I can scarcely understand
Much less hold on to
But I will return
And reach out to You
Again and again.
~ Jonathan Ellerby
