O Lux Beata Trinitas
God is my being,
Christ the light of my wonder,
My breath the Holy Spirit.
The flame in my heart
is the name of the Friend.
Shall I keep it a secret?
Almighty Father,
by your Grace I Am.
Holy Mother,
by your Spirit I breathe.
Lord Christ,
through your Love I dissolve
all separation,
embracing the universe
as my Body.
Let me be broken open
by the infinite possibility
of your Silence,
which is more powerful
than any word or deed.
Let me help you in this
invisible work
by falling like a seed
into the darkness
underground,
by resting in the core
of every stone,
by getting lost
in the boundless cavern
of a dust speck.
Let me drown in your ocean
of sweet ineffable
uncreated Music
and become a pure listening
that brings harmony to all things
by doing no thing.
How triumphantly
I encompass the earth
when I am most vulnerable
and empty!
How tenderly the knowledge
of your Trinity fills me
when I am most helpless
and hollow!
Thank you, Father, my being.
Thank you, Mother, my breath.
Your Child is the glow in my chest
where the temple veil is rent
by the gentlest sigh.
can no longer be hidden.
In my very flesh
the sacrament
of the Bridal Chamber.
The altar of stillness between
breathing out and in.
The marriage of Christ
and Sophia Wisdom, here.
My missing rib is a door ajar
where you can see Jesus
and Magdalene kiss.
My heart is a portal to the garden
where each moment
is a moving mirror
of eternity.
