Shiva, You are the purity of light that sweeps across the psyche.
You set forth that which i now need to know for dispelling the shadows
falling over the vision, darkening, distorting & deadening.
You encapsulate me, holding me in the purity of Your light
as if i am an infant clasped in the mother's arms & suckled at
her soft breast. Shiva, Your fragrance is so sweet that i am dissolving
in it, becoming sweetness, emitting light like a beacon for lost
travelers, or like a campfire kept burning through the night to hearten.
Shiva, You are the intimacy of night, smoothing all the wrinkles
& rough edges that tell of a long arduous journey, soothing the
hungering heart with Your calm touch. the very atoms of You & i
embrace & intermingle in communion that words cannot reveal.
ah, but words can point the way & they can comfort & strengthen also,
until the silence grows so deep that it muffles & floods all else but
the purity of light & the long slow intimacy of the night.

THIS HAPPENED 
A decade ago, early into an awakening of kundalini, I searched for writings on my condition. I came across a book on Google that was scanned. The title was The Triadic Heart Of Shiva. Since I felt this trinity in my own experience, I began scanning through the book. I landed on a random page and began to read. I began having these things happen to me that I found were described in the text, but I would experience them first and then see the words which described the state. It seemed an odd coincidence that I was anticipating what the words were about to tell me until it happened more, just like the first.
The experience showed me two things: that my own consciousness could anticipate the content perhaps as a way to help me understand how consciousness works, and second, that somewhere in my past I have had a connection to Shiva, perhaps from another life. There was no accounting for how I felt about Shiva….what did I know about Shiv? Not too much as a Westerner, but when I followed the feeling I could see a man standing in the Ganges hands clasped in prayer to this thing we all agreed was Shiva as part of a larger drama unfolding which was the mystery of life.
So when I read your words, I get to visit that place filled with love and devotion where Shiva resides..
