                                                   THE RIVER 
              
               In the midst of death and violence 
               A light kindling in my heart 
               Is beginning to warm my soul 
               With new life. 
                 
               I look back at the white water boiling behind me 
               With a shuddering anger at the treacherous, roiling white   light. 
               I look ahead at the broad, black expanse 
               Smooth, yet turbulent and rich with wonderful power. 
                  
               Deep moments of peace are the essence of what is coming 
               Deep pools of bliss are the essence of what is coming 
               Troubles are the food that nourishes a peaceful life 
               Troubles gently feed bliss with subtle flavours of delight 
                  
               I bow to all the Deities who are bringing me wealth unmeasured 
               And I thank the Lord, and I thank the Lady, and I thank my   Self.
