A Cool Day with Dark Storm Clouds
A Cool Day with Dark Storm Clouds
"Krishna must have such fun-"
She said-Jadurani Devi Dasi-
She had never touched a cow before,
And now, in the fields
She is smiling as twelve cows
Nuzzle her and lick her hands-
She is chanting the Name
Of her beloved Gopala,
And the cows gather around her
In a semicircle, watching, blinking,
Their heads brushing the pale green blanket
Draped over her shoulders-
And she sings His Name-
And her eyes say,
"Krishna is so beautiful-"

Damodara das Adhikary (Dan Clark)
These waters speak of our Lord
they are continually descending down as a man bowing as a man bowing. like a cup emptying. Yet in reverence & humility the fulfillment & recognition as a man bowing like a cup emptying these waters run down from the mountains into the sea and speak of our Lord for it is only by running into the sea that the river never grows dry it is only by devotion to the Lord that a man never dies Yet the river is without salt and man without memory but he has been remembered from all eternity indeed the cup cannot be emptied from all eternity Neither can the cup be turned upside down or right side up for gravity clashes in other realms and the river descends in praise like a man bowing bowing in His Love Rabindasvarupa das Brahmachary (Bob Lefkowitz)
