Enjoy the poem Swami Ramananda wrote during Bodø Yoga Festival 2012:
sun sea soul
spirit erupts into form
like fire bursting into flames
startles you awake
speaks your name
silent towering clouds, endless sky
the perfect voice of tiny mountain flowers
the music of little girl giggle
the vast reach of sea that rises into a dried up soul
sky and sun, dazzling light and color
a call to prayer
a mark on the heart
if I open an eye for an instant
how can I not give up my dialogue with safety
run into these arms held out to me
fall to my knees in the wake of this public Grace
grant me a bigger cup
to receive the miracle of movement
and the blessing of wonder,
given freely despite my weak worship
use the hardened surface of my wooden story
to echo the sacred words of a true teacher
convert my timid steps into a leap with no landing
