Cosmic Light...

Sadness gives way to spontaneity...

The inner child of the Cosmos
has come to play...

There's a hidden joy inside that shimmers up
- playful,
tickling the heart...

Subtle joy turns into Love for the whole experience of
LIFE

knowing it's all the "Play" of the Cosmos...

The Light of the Cosmos
hidden within myself
begins to glow -
an unlit light.

It's the rhythm of the Cosmos that moves me,
taking my breath away,
making my heart skip;
and the realization that

I am Cosmic Light -
lit from within!

I am the Cosmos!

I am the joy of the Universe...

It's all the Play of Cosmic Light!

Here's a woo-woo story about how I found this poem again... :)

One night I was checking the stats on my blog, and saw my
URL with a number after it. I had never seen this before. So I
clicked on it, and it gave me two links. I recognized the first
link, so I clicked on it. And it took me to a fellow blogger's blog,
now deceased! And right there on the page was the poem,
"Cosmic Light" that she had posted in 2020. She passed away
in January 2021. How strange! A "voice" from beyond?
However it came, it was as if someone was trying to remind me,
that even though I have been going through dark and challenging
times the light is still there. And I still have to embrace it all everyday,
the dark and the light. I even mentioned to a friend that
I thought my Light was going out - he too reminded me that there
is still a light within that never goes out.
We ARE that Light! And that life is a play of the
Cosmos :)

I have since tried to enter that same combination of URL with
the number again and it tells me "site not found"

The Light of Breath - Hazrat Inayat Khan

We ordinarily think of the breath as that little air that we feel
coming and going through our nostrils; but we do not think of
it as that vast current that goes through everything, that current
which comes from Consciousness...

...it is written that first the Word [or Logos - the Word of The Divine]
was, and from the Word all things came [into being]. But before
the Word was the Breath, which made the Word.

Behind the word is the much greater power: Breath. If a person
wishes to study the self, to know the self, what is important is
not the study of the mind, of the thought, the imagination, nor of
the body, but the study of the breath. The Breath has made the
mind and the body for its expression. It has made all from the
vibration to the physical atom, from the finest to the grossest.

Breath is a light in itself, and it becomes projected like the beam
from a searchlight... Breath is sometimes not different from the
light of the sun but even brighter than that. Breath being a light
from another dimension, which is unknown to science today, it
cannot be visible to the ordinary physical eyes.

What people call the aura is the light of breath, but not everyone
sees it. A radiant countenance is a proof of an aura which
illumi-nates it, and the lack of it is the lack of light in the breath.
A seer sees the sign of a death more clearly and longer beforehand
than a physician can. The reason is that the seer sees in the aura
of a person whereas the physician sees only the condition of the
body. Many experience the phenomenon of the light of breath,
and yet doubt if it can be true, for they think it is perhaps an
imagination. Others, who are capable of seeing that light,
confirm their doubt. The Sufi, by the development of breath,
experiences this light, which becomes for him a proof of the
existence of that dimension which is unknown to the ordinary
world.
