Dear Beloved Sikh people and to every Beloved Soul present to this offering. This is for all who Mourn and Grieve April 15, 2021, and for our world.
I come to you in humility for my Heart has spoken its need to deeply and completely join with yours and to offer you these words that have arisen from the wellspring of Love, from my heart and soul to yours.
I am with you, as are many others! Though our world is in a state of accelerated turmoil, it is also true that the Human Heart is One with The Divine and in a time of accelerated Transformation. May the Love that we are, in communion with one another, dissolve any and all fear living within the human heart that would give rise to anything less than Love Itself.
In the following, concerning April 15, 2021, I would like to share with you what recently happened as I was walking outdoors in prayerful silence.
Deeply so,
Jalyn Merrick De Sunae
April 15, 2021.
I was home when I first became aware of a
piercing, unfolding, sorrow that was at once
another’s yet now also mine.
Today I am on Roselle St. walking with our dog, Bellamae,
and as we pass beneath some flowering trees,
beneath each canopy of bloom,
Tears of deep, deep, beauty Fall,
White Petals
showering down upon us, yet past us,
seeking to touch the earth Herself as if to Bless
The Very Ground…
the place Where those you Love Fell…
and from Where their Spirits silently Rose
Into The Arms of Love,
and Still Are Rising!
And now, like a tree, I can only bow my head
and open my body, mind, and spirit to
Presence With You
and to share in the profound grief your hearts now
attempt to fathom, to speak, to hold, to bear.
This is my Honour.
An honour Given All who are drawn to join with you Now.
And as we Honour your grief,
now Embraced as our own
may we find ways to gently yet surely love one
another into Living In and From Chardi Kala.
For now, in this moment, as are your loved ones,
are we together held In this Essence of Love.
And as our Hearts Fall Together,
may we collectively Rise as One into our Light.

One Light!
