nothing, includes everything and everyone
throughout its journeys through its countless
human temples. Of course when the moment of
death arrives, the body looks back nostalgically
at itself and this is when fear of the unknown
and for what the soul-personality will meet on

us always remember to raise our hearts through
thanksgiving and gratitude, so that when our
time is up and we must leave this world, we
have complete peace of mind and know Peace
Profound, even if just for a few moments, before
everything begins again.
Psalm
by Pensatrix
You are quietness and peace,
Soul of the Universe.
You are the mystery of creation,
the unknown Spirit of Life.
You are hidden in the intricacies of matter,
beyond the edge of time.
You are silence and strength,
Soul of the Universe.
You exist forever, boundless and free;
you are infinite and without frame.
Eternal Spirit of the deeps,
why do we give you a name?
You are life and existence,
Soul of the Universe.
You are the wind that moves the trees;
you are the energy of the sun.
You are the power of the mighty seas,
the endless search of mankind.
