Like a flame that burns in silence,

like a perfume that rises straight upward without wavering,

my love goes to Thee;

and like the child who does not reason and has no care,

I trust myself to Thee that Thy Will may be done,

that Thy Light may manifest, Thy Peace radiate, Thy Love cover the world.

When Thou wilIest I shall be in Thee,

Thyself, and there shall be no more any distinction;

I await that blessed hour without impatience of any kind,

letting myself flow irresistibly toward it as a peaceful stream flows

toward the boundless ocean.

                 Thy Peace is in me, and in that Peace I see Thee alone present in everything, with the calm of Eternity.
