Meeting the Almighty

I am sitting here in the raging wind,

Marveling at the beauty of the lightening tearing the sky

The trace left behind for just a moment in my gaze

The thunder makes me lose my voice,

My bowels shudder from the deep rumbling

What an exhibition of power!

Who am I in the face of this vastness?

Pilgriming through this world,

I can only bow my head to this perfection,

The imposing weight of the mountains takes my breath away

The purity and peace of the field of snow

Reveal the other side, where my soul dwells

Waves shattering forcefully against the rocks,

The wind howling and roaring,

The terrifying bear, the lightening-quick eagle, the powerful stallion

What is this force attracting my soul?

Only yesterday I felt strong and mighty

I mastered a new step leading toward power

I thought that I would soon attain the pinnacle,

But today, my plans are dismissed

My being, still arrogant yesterday,

Is satisfied today by the vastness around me

Pilgriming through this world,

I can only bow my head to this perfection,

The imposing weight of the mountains takes my breath away

The purity and peace of the field of snow

Reveal the other side, where my soul dwells

The thirst of absoluteness is newly awakened

The consciousness of infinity is back

Is there someone, something behind this magnitude?

I want to become one with this absoluteness,

Feeling the thunder resonate in me,

May all the darkness in my life be swept away by this howling wind
