Thus the Light rains

Ezra Pound
January 2013 (Vol. XXVI, No. 1)

Thus the Light rains, thus pours,
the liquid and rushing crystal
beneath the knees of the gods.

~ from CANTO IV by Ezra Pound

Quote of the Day

Christ is the Lord
Lord of the Light
Lord of the Shining Worlds
the One Light
within each One.

Christ is the One Light moving
across the face of the Earth
awakening souls
in the shadow of illusion.

Awakening love
and forgiveness
in every heart,
awakening Peace on Earth
