The day I wanted to sail
The day I wanted to sailWith doubt,
Our boat did not start.
The day I wanted to sail
With fear,
Our boat sank when the journey
Was three minutes old.
The day I wanted to sail
With love,
God immediately jumped into our boat
And on we sailed.
Both love and I
Just slept, sang and danced in the boat.
But God did something more:
He led us all the way
With His Nectar-Light.
Sri Chinmoy, The journey of silver dreams, Agni Press, 1974
