Image yourself peacefully held in an Ocean of pure Love & Compassion.
This song is a sacred lullaby.
"Listen, O drop, give yourself up without regret,
And in exchange gain the Ocean.
Listen, O drop, bestow upon yourself this honor,
And in the arms of the Sea be secure.
Who indeed should be so fortunate?
An Ocean wooing a drop!
In God’s name, in God’s name, sell and buy at once!
Give a drop, and take this Sea full of pearls."
Rumi
"Jesus answered, "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I will give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life." John 4:13,14
lyrics
Drifting ever in Love, drifting ever in Love, drifting ever in Love, drifting in Love
Loved and lovable, Loveable and Loved
Open my heart to your Ocean door, then I won’t be thirsty anymore.
Make me a dam to hold love inside. No make me a river without a tide.
Part of the Ocean at rest in sea. My soul dissolved in Thee.
My soul dissolved in Thee.
