The Beauty

by Virginia Parsell
(1920? - 2003) Timeline

Original Language
English
Secular or Eclectic
Yoga / Hindu : Advaita / Non-Dualist
20th Century

I cannot find the words to tell the rapture,
The quiet, unspoken resting on the knoll
Of being what I see, and seeing, being,
One in all, all in this One, the empty I
that holds the pen and watches how the paper
fills with marks pinning the indescribable
To a hinted wall of recognition,
A bulletin board of signs to draw the eye
To sightless habitation in this glorious inn.
