~The Elements~

The air I am breathing was exhaled in ecstasy

By an ancient sun.

This earth I am standing on

Was born of cosmic fire.

The blood flowing through my veins

Is as salty as the primordial ocean.

The space permeating my body

Is infinite as the space all around.

Above, below, to all sides, within,

The elements of the universe

Are engaged in their ceremony of delight.

This is my religion.

The attraction between suns

Is the same 

As the Love pulsating in my heart.

— Lorin Roche, The Radiance Sutras
