I Never Hear From You<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bernard Scott, Retired Academic<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

I never hear from you. Have you forgotten me?<\/p>\n

If not, why don\u2019t you speak to me?<\/p>\n

You made the break. I am still here.<\/p>\n

Five years ago, I sent you a letter.<\/p>\n

I told you how, on reading one of your old letters, I burst into tears.<\/p>\n

I just wanted you to know some feelings never die,<\/p>\n

Even though they may disappear for a while.<\/p>\n

You didn\u2019t reply.<\/p>\n

Remember when you gave me a pocket watch, one Christmas.<\/p>\n

It came in a small box. I still have them, box and watch, somewhere.<\/p>\n

Inside the lid of the box, you had written, \u201cTogether, forever.\u201d<\/p>\n

I remember the moment quite clearly.<\/p>\n

Forever is a long time.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re not there yet but we are getting closer.<\/p>\n

I can feel it.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I Sit Between Earth And Sky<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

I sit between earth and sky.<\/p>\n

In Chinese, there is one word (ciel) for sky and heaven.<\/p>\n

I am of the earth; my body is made from it.<\/p>\n

I have evolved a reasoning soul that reaches up to heaven.<\/p>\n

I pierce the cloud of unknowing.<\/p>\n

Between the soul and God, there is no between.<\/p>\n

Humbly, I obey God\u2019s will, as best I can.<\/p>\n

As my will becomes his will, I become more the son he wishes me to be.<\/p>\n

I seek help and strength from my brother and captain, Jesus of Nazareth.<\/p>\n

In rest and repentance is my salvation.<\/p>\n

In quietness and trust is my strength.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I Practice Krya Yoga.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

I practice Krya yoga.<\/p>\n

With eyes rolled back and heavenly intent,<\/p>\n

I pierce the cloud of unknowing, seeking contact with the divine.<\/p>\n

My breath hangs suspended between out and in.<\/p>\n

Om, om, om, I croon.<\/p>\n

As fire goes up and down my spine, I think pure. I think holy.<\/p>\n

I think everything. I think nothing.<\/p>\n

May my will be thy will, O Lord. May my soul and Thee be as one.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
