Cosmos



An essential prudence lies quietly within;
nothing to develop,
just recognize again.

Universal meaning has unrestricted love,
direction and purpose:
below, beyond, above.

The Wisdom Traditions contribute to the pact
that all sentient creatures
are inclusive as fact.

Silent contemplation can causally unfold
the grandest connection
for beings to behold.

Matter, mind and spirit in Cosmic consciousness
is oneness united
as full experience.
