Looking at objects in astonishment 
Knowing they are but manifestation
We flow through life, in childlike wonderment 

Bliss ensconced, our heart purrs in contentment 
Knowing what eyes see as but illusion
Looking at objects in astonishment 

One with That oneness, in the bliss current
Knowing God within, in meditation 
We flow through life, in childlike wonderment 

In pulse of descent, assured is ascent
Knowing that fleeting is our delusion
Looking at objects in astonishment 

Bliss throbs within us, without abatement 
Knowing that there is no separation 
We flow through life, in childlike wonderment 

According right of way to love current
Knowing our essence is bliss elation
Looking at objects in astonishment 
We flow through life, in childlike wonderment

Fabulous composing! Richard, I think youi’re ready to take on Mozart now:) You know I’d give a lot to be able to spend 2 straight days sharing God’s mystical gifts stories with you. “I will never be the same again...Shout to the Lord!”
