July Clover
The wondering flowers looked up to see
Who had offered the worm a home:
‘T was a clover-blossom, whose fluttering leaves
Seemed beckoning him to come;
It dwelt in a sunny little nook,
Where cool winds rustled by,
And murmuring bees and butterflies came,
On the flower’s breast to lie.
–– Louisa May Alcott

and happiness to all,

“Dark Mother! Always gliding near with soft feet,
Have none chanted for Thee a chant of fullest welcome?”
– Walt Whitman.
As Adam (48)
“When the yogi arises from the darkness, a vision like the clear sky of dawn will emerge, which is neither exactly like the color or shape of the sky, nor like the sunlight, moonlight, or darkness. This stage is called the “Universal Voidness.” He should try to absorb himself in this great voidness as long as possible.” – The Yoga of the Light
