Melting Snow
Music: Mirabai
Lyrics: Adapted by Mirabai from the Rumi poem “Be Melting Snow”

Lo I am with you always
Wash yourself of yourself be melting snow
A white flower grows in the quietness
Let your tongue become that flower
The Moon the full Moon is inside your house
God is in the look of your eye
God is in the thought of looking
God is nearer to you than yourself
And things that have happened to you
I’m in here comes a voice from the house
But we’re not listening we’re looking at the Sky
There’s no need to go outside
