All that matters?

Tags: poem living house

Editor's note: Hi all. This may be the first time I've published a Poem on my blog, but here goes. I'd like to share a poem with you entitled Pax, a Latin word meaning "peace," written by the British writer D.H. Lawrence (1885-1930).  I'm not "religious," but I am spiritual, and I find the poem quite touching, with a universal message that is very apt for our times. What do you think? Would love to hear from you. Here's the poem:

Pax

All that matters is to be at one with the Living God

to be a creature in the House of the God of Life.

Like a cat asleep on a chair

at peace, in peace

and at one with the master of the house, with the mistress,

at home, at home in the house of the living,

sleeping on the hearth, and yawning before the fire.

Sleeping on the hearth of the living world

yawning at home before the fire of life

feeling the presence of the living God

like a great reassurance

a deep calm in the heart

a presence

as of the master sitting at the board

in his own and greater being,

in the house of life.
