Namaste 
Recent words, experienced as prayer and song.
I woke this week and was in the shower. I opened the small window and looked out as the warm water caressed me. The morning sun played freely with the sparkley powder outside. I breathed in the cool air, and breathed it back out into nature. She hinted at Her mystery with silky mist, living through me. "Why not me," I thought.
In the tranquil, blanketed yard next door, two robins swept down. They met in their arc, and returned to a bare tree. A squirrel climbed down the bark of a thick trunk, and hopped through the snow in fastidious glee. I sang to Her, this song.

Little birdie, little birdie!
Little mammal, climbing the tree.
Little mammal, snow in the breeze.
Yesterday, I went to the temple for worship and a Vedanta study group. I saw a friend in the hallway. In class, we talked about favoring integration over distinction. It was good and put me in a mood.
In the prayer room, I bowed and prayed to our Ishtas. I finally talked to a priest to ask if I could take pictures of the prayer book, which I have been studying. He said I could, and asked me a straightforward question, which I answered. He asked what I meant, so I faintly tried to furnish clarification. I thanked him.
I walked back to the chairs across the room. Of course, my phone battery was dead. I smiled affectionately. I briefly imagined myself telling the priest, "The cellular phone's electrical reserves have been depleted." Then I thought that the temple could use that energy in the best way.
I sat and closed my eyes instinctually. I felt a great warmth breathing into my crown and neck. It was soft, gentle, and sweet. My body felt like a heated cushion. My head tilted to the right slightly, exposing more of my neck. It felt pure and right. I can't describe the experience. But this came to paper.
Divine love, divine light,
Shining pure, shining bright.
Gentle lake, gentle stream,
Gifted heart, gifted spring.
Your way flows in everything.
~Love
