After writing "My sister the sea, she calls me, she sings 'Oh, my Love'", I've been remembering a poem by Sri HWL Poonja (who is known as Papaji).  In the first line of the poem, he wrote, "There is a perpetual fathomless pull of Love into Love." That's so what it felt like, walking on the beach, that the Ocean was calling me into Love.  Pondering that this week,  I started to notice that everything is actually Love pulling us into Love.  We don't notice it when we run away from something, or close our eyes to something, or dig our heels in resisting something, or think a lot about something.   But when I truly meet anything all the way, yep, once again, I discover that it is Love pulling me into Love, and I am Love and the whole thing is doing the whole thing! Here's a new song that begins with Papaji's sentence,  with gratitude to Papaji for his remarkably vivid and creative way of expressing Truth.  The entire poem is in a wonderful collection of Papaji's teachings entitled  The Truth Is on p. 547. 

The whole book is viewable on line as a pdf at this link:

Here is the Durham Chorus singing the song the day after it appeared.
I hope you will sing it with us now, and maybe in person some time as well.

Fathomless Pull
© K Hannan 2015 (first line by Papaji)

There is a fathomless pull of Love into Love
There is a fathomless pull of Love into Love
Can you see it in the morning light?
Yes, you can, I know you do
That is your Heart, seeing your Heart
That is you, loving you

There is a fathomless pull of Love into Love
There is a fathomless pull of Love into Love
Can you feel it in the baby's hand?
Yes, you can, I know you do
That is your Heart, touching your Heart
That is you, loving you


There is a fathomless pull of Love into Love
There is a fathomless pull of Love into Love
Can you hear it in the bluebird's song
Yes, you can, I know you do
That is your Heart, calling your Heart
That is you, loving you

There is a fathomless pull of Love into Love
There is a fathomless pull of Love into Love
Can you taste it in the summer rain
Yes, you can, I know you do
That is your Heart, tasting your Heart
That is you, loving you

There is a fathomless pull of Love into Love
There is a fathomless pull of Love into Love
Do you know it deep inside
Yes, you do, I know you do
That is your Heart, knowing your Heart
That is you, loving you

There is a fathomless pull of Love into Love
There is a fathomless pull of Love into Love
Can you find it in your neighbor's eyes
Yes, you can, I know you do
That is your Heart, finding your own Heart
That is you, loving you

I spent 9 days at Topsail Beach in April with my sweetheart, washed in the colors and sounds of mama ocean.   I had the usual thoughts of "I have to move here!"  And it made me wonder, just what is it about the Ocean that 
brings us closer to knowing who we truly are.  I think it's that every one of our senses is so filled with beauty, that, as Rumi says, "The world is too full to talk about."  As our minds quiet down, our hearts come through clearer and clearer. When I returned to Durham, I still felt the sound of the sea down in my cells, and this song came through from there.  I am so grateful to have the Bodies, Voices & Spirit Choruses to sing with when the songs are first born.  This is the Durham Choristas and myself singing it last night.

My Sister The Sea
© K Hannan 2015


My sister the sea, she calls me
She sings "Oh, my Love"
The sound she sings washes through me
She sings, "Oh, oh my Love"
And the colors of the sky and the colors of the sea
Ever changing fill my heart
But there's something inside the sound of the sea
That brings me back before the beginning
Om Shanti Shanti Shanti
Om Shanti Shanti Shanti Om
