In a place open to the sky,
facing west at the hour of sunset
or east at sunrise,
I pray that the cosmos be flung open to me
and that all nature
may receive the sound of my psalms.
Open, great earth,
and trees, silence your waving boughs,
for I am about to sing
the praise of the One and All.
Justice, praise the just through me.
Goodness, praise the good through me.
Selflessness, praise the All throught me.
It is Your words
that through me sing Your praises -
for all comes from You
and all returns to You.
Accept these pure offerings of speech
from a heart and soul uplifted.
You of whom no words can tell,
no tongue can speak,
and only silence can declare.
~The Hermetica

Would you like to exchange links?
I'd be happy to do a link exchange. It'll probably be Monday before I get it accomplished - I'll give you a heads up when I get the links up. Thank you so much!
This is a truly magnificent window into the soul. Namaste.
