+==== THE MYSTERY OF MEDITATION ====
+**By Vera Eyton Wavell**
+COMPANIONED by Thy visible glory, the rising sun,
+\\ I turn to Thee, Lord of the world, O Vibrant Life;
+\\ My body temple rests, and fleshly mind is stilled—
+\\ While all awareness centers on that place within my heart,
+\\ Sacred, profound, where Thy Divinity abides.
+\\ Calmly, with concentrated love I think on Thee,
+\\ And tidal waves of bliss suffuse my being,
+\\ While that thick curtain of my mortal sense,
+\\ Which used to hang so dark twixt Thee and me
+\\ When first I sought Thee in the silence,
+\\ More tenuous becomes, till now almost—
+\\ Almost—Thou art revealed to me . . .
+\\ O Love, O Life, Supernal Light!
+\\ I feel Thy yearning tenderness reach out
+\\ Drawing me up to consciousness of Thee,
+\\ Into ascension where increasing love
+\\ Shall rend the curtain of carnality
+\\ Dissolving all that false belief hath wrought,
+\\ Merging me into ecstasy of union
+\\ Where I shall know myself as one with Thee,
+\\ Where I shall face all unafraid Thy radiance,
+\\ And find within Thy very heart of Love
+\\ My heart established for eternity.
+\\ Thus shalt Thou make of me the chalice holy
+\\ Of Thy Divinity that all may drink,
+\\ Thus render strong my hand to raise the weary,
+\\ Through me restore Thy vision to the blind,
+\\ And make my speech Thy golden gift of comfort,
+\\ That all may hear Thee say, “Lo, here AM I!”
+\\ For I would serve Thee, Lord;
+\\ O I would serve Thee.
+\\ Once having seen the glimmer of Thy Light
+\\ And having felt Thy Love pervade my being,
+\\ Thy sacred fount endowing me with life.
+\\ Thou dost inspire my spirit to Thy purpose.
+\\ There is none else, there is none else for me!
+\\ Transcendent Love, O lead me in the silence
+\\ To consummated unity with Thee.
