I am an aspiring bhaktin (practicing student) on the path of Bhakti Yoga…
Bhakti Yoga is the yoga of devotion. This poem
came as a metaphor of my inward journey in this wintertime of hibernation and
contemplation. It reflects spiritual growth, trust and surrendering to this
process of new life. Remembering the importance of patience, protection, time
for space and growth...and to be open to Grace.
'Winter Landscape' by Martin Lisec |
My Winter’s Prayer
There lies a seed
within,
deep inside one’s
heart,
resting in the womb
of the Divine Mother.
This wintertime of
hibernation is a holding place
always there,
protecting, waiting
for the Springtime of
life.
When the seed begins
to open
to the Sun within,
we remember His Light
and Love.
Nourishing, caring
for this tiny seed,
this sweet delightful
bud,
the flowering of our
True Self appears.
Beginning in the dark
womb,
with patience and
loving care,
