Starry sky over rocky coast with clear Milky Way. Dark sea in the foreground, rocks scattered. Serene and impressive scene.

It is night.

The world has gone to sleep

and gradually the stream of love

that flows through me to the world

comes closer and closer to me

to flow only within me.

It now flows entirely from me,

through me and in me.

It takes care of me.

It caresses me.

I am with my deepest essence,

with myself.

There is complete space for me,

for the flow,

for the love

and for life.

The freedom and the richness

of being with it,

make me sit down.

Life around me takes a rest for a moment

and I take a bath

in the love of existence.

This time at night

is so special.

I feel so much love

for this time

with myself and with life.

These large cosmic clouds of cold hydrogen resemble thunder heads in the summer afternoon. They tower above the surface of a molecular cloud on the edge of the nebula. The so-called "elephant pillars" resist heating and are eaten away by the blistering ultraviolet rays of the brightest stars of the nebula.

The stillness

caused by the flow of love within me

becomes more and more intense.

The silence lasts and lasts.

Sleep for a while,

dear world.

Rest

from all your cramps.

Then I take my bath of love

in silence.

Then I enjoy

being alone in the night.

By myself, with myself, in myself.

With my Self.

Where love meets love

and I am the center

of the meaning of existence.

May I invite you all

to also meditate

and drink with me

from this compassionate Source of Existence,

the Essence of Life.

I deeply wish for you and the world

to be awakened, nourished, and inspired

by this quality

and thereby to connect

with the indescribable truth

of this life

that transcends all viewpoints.
