Incense wafts in the air etching
Spirals of fragrant peace.
Eyes of light open releasing healing
Compassion and quiet sanctuary.
Hands open in welcome and calmness
Flows from each finger soothing me.
Beauty and grace fill my sight and I
Am strong in the harmony of self.
All is quiet
All is gentle
All is imbued with a
Love that is unconditional
And knows no bounds.
The Goddess smiles and the world
Stills its arcane chatter and begins the
Dialogue of Divine serenity.
The Goddess Kuan Yin is one I turn to when I am most in need of finding the stillness and space of peace within myself. She is the Bodhisattva of Compassion and Mercy. Her nature is one of forgiveness and the serenity that is found, most especially, in forgiveness of self is profound.
May her peace fill you with the knowledge that you are loved unconditionally by the Divine.
