Devotion has found so many forms of expression – from subtle and gentle, to fierce and extreme. Devotion essentially means you are making an effort not to have a will of your own, so that you arrive at the doorstep of the Creator absolutely willingly. You are making an effort to allow the dimension of energy that is the basis of your making within you to find its ultimate possibility.
Here at iii, we are in the final weeks of Anaadhi. The devotion and focus that the participants have displayed in all that they do is remarkable, and for some participants, their devotion has found expression in poetry.
Devotion is that which is devoid of you.
The Flies of Mahima
The flies of Mahima love to play
On my toes and my nose they frolic all day
I used to try to swat them away
Now I bow down and hope they will stay
On my toes and my nose they frolic all day
I used to try to swat them away
Now I bow down and hope they will stay

Still
He came this morning –
silently in
silently out
silently in
silently out
You could have missed him
if you were not aware
if you were not aware
But when he left
he was still there
he was still there

Mystic Slumber
Like a midnight cowboy
he works tirelessly through the night
so that I awake from my slumber
all shiny and new
he works tirelessly through the night
so that I awake from my slumber
all shiny and new
He’s my lullaby in the evening
and my alarm bell at dawn
and my alarm bell at dawn
He’s a demolition crew of one
that blows my creation strewn
and for that I greet each day
with a whole lot of gratitude
that blows my creation strewn
and for that I greet each day
with a whole lot of gratitude
- Christy
