Rabindranath Tagore, a master of sacred presence, writes in today\u2019s post, that tastes of wonder and courage and beauty and tenderness compete with gloom and restless edginess. \u00a0 Distractions lose connection with the deep down mystery. \u00a0\u201cTrust the mystery,\u201d \u00a0says Tagore, \u201ceven when trust feels out of reach.\u201d<\/p>\n

That I want Thee, only thee\u2013let my heart repeat without end.
\nAll desires that distract me, day and night,
\nare false and empty to the core.<\/p>\n

As the night keeps hidden in its gloom the petition for light,
\neven thus in the depth of my unconsciousness rings the cry\u2013
\n\u201cI want thee, only thee.\u201d<\/p>\n

As the storm still seeks its end in peace when it strikes against
\npeace with all its might, even thus my rebellion strikes against thy love
\nand still its cry is\u2013\u201cI want thee, only thee.\u201d<\/p>\n
