a taste of perfection.
But only enough
to leave the heart impossibly lonely.

Nothing can be more important
In my life
Than to lose myself
In God’s Compassion-Eye.

In Heaven I used to get endless Delight
From God for the asking
On earth I get endless Compassion
From God for the asking.

God’s Compassion-Eye gives us
Not only one Chance
But countless chances
To change our wrong directions
--Sri Chinmoy

Sonnet 47: Betwixt mine eye and heart a league is took

Betwixt mine eye and heart a league is took,
And each doth good turns now unto the other:
When that mine eye is famish'd for a look,
Or heart in love with sighs himself doth smother,
With my love's picture then my eye doth feast,
And to the painted banquet bids my heart;
Another time mine eye is my heart's guest,
And in his thoughts of love doth share a part:
So, either by thy picture or my love,
Thy self away, art present still with me;
For thou not farther than my thoughts canst move,
And I am still with them, and they with thee;
Or, if they sleep, thy picture in my sight
Awakes my heart, to heart's and eyes' delight.
-- William Shakespeare

By intuition, Mightiest Things
Assert themselves – and not by terms –
“I’m Midnight” – need the Midnight say –
“I’m Sunrise” – Need the Majesty?
Omnipotence – had not a Tongue –
His lisp – is Lightning – and the Sun –
His Conversation– with the Sea –
“How shall you know”?
Consult your Eye!
-- Emily Dickinson
