Within us Abba lives.<br /><br />Bliss is a state of calmness in the storm.<br />Bliss is a state of freedom mid the rage.<br />Bliss is the life connection we all need.<br />Bliss isn't wacky, prideful posturing.<br /><br />To wear bliss on our sleeves is tacky praise.<br />So keep bliss to yourself. Abba won't mind.<br /><br />Bliss overcomes enigmas and regrets. <br />Bliss powers the surmounting of all pain. <br />Bliss opens vistas through all time and space.<br /><br />+<br /><br />Bliss is the center from which life creates.<br /><br />Bliss is transcendence anchored deep within. <br />Bliss is the breath of Abba breathed with grace. <br />Bliss is an intimate embrace of life.<br /><br />Bliss is the root of deepest happiness.<br />To be bliss-full is also to be free. <br />Bliss is the state of being consciously.<br /><br />+<br /><br />How can so many things be claimed for bliss? <br />When downcast is as common as downfall?<br /><br />Nothing at all is claimed save saving grace. <br />This is a simple testimonial. <br />And yet I know it is a gift for all.<br /><br />I spoke one time of sheer beatitude. <br />Of blessings given to all those who hear <br />The inner promptings of the one within.<br /><br />Sit light to everything, love Abba's way.<br />Sit fair to everything, give fair its day.<br />Endure, transcend, accept, change as you may.<br />Bliss-full beatitude is Abba's way.Stephen C.
