Arias of Ecstasy is a collection of 108 devotional poems written as a contemplation on the nature of the living transformative relationship between the devotee and the Spiritual Master. For thousands of years poets have been declaring the ecstasy of this unique relationship, of the surrender of self to the Divine in the Company of a Realizer, and Michele is one of the newest contributors to that Great Tradition.
From Arias of Ecstasy:
All Along
for years
I ran to Darshan
to catch a glimpse of Him,
to prostrate at His Feet
with fragrant offerings
but I did not renounce my life
I walked back home to be a wife
and write a rural fiction
I neglected Him
it was not until
my husband turned to ash
scattered on an ocean reef
that I heard Him
Whisper in my ear
Louder than my grief
that He'd been Waiting here
All Along
And he Chaperoned me
Home
to be His Own
In the deep tradition of ecstatic love poems written by devotees of the Living Divine Person, Michele's odes to Adi Da Samraj awaken the feeling heart to love of the One and Only Being Who Is Love, Truth and the Reality of all.
—Terry Cafferty
The True Guru appears because no being falls in love with an abstract Divine. It is apparent that the author has been touched by a love most passionate and profound and she responds with the simple heartfelt ecstasy of the lover, beyond theology and belief.
