Meditations from the Honey Sutras

by Ingrid Goff-Maidoff

Observing all with a loving eye,
let your spirit expand outward,
soaring as the dove above the
round globe of the earth…
Look upon its mountains,
forests, fields, and rivers,
rich expanses of wilderness,
cities and village squares…
Gaze upon its moonlit lakes,
its gardens and its oceans.
Now taking yourself further still,
move beyond the stars in the sky.
Remembering all you have seen,
you hold in your mind the Universe.
Now, turning this universe outside in,
feel it unfolding gently inside you,
opening layer by layer
like a many petalled flower.

This is your innerverse,
the landscape of your soul.
It is the heart you are invited to explore.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You are the wind, the ocean,
the moonlit lake…
You are the sun, the blue iris, the bee.
You are the rain and the green fields.
You are the sparrow and
the sparrow's song.
You are the apple tree and its blossoms.
You are the nest in the branch of the tree.
You are the speckled egg in the nest,
and the gentle body keeping it warm.
You are the honey in the honeycomb,
the hive and the working bee.
You are the flower, the pollen, the nectar.
You are the golden candle and its flame.
You hold every joy, every sadness,
all that has been and will be…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There is honey inside you,
the honey of the Divine.
It is in everybody and everything.
One taste of this sweetness
changes your life forever.
