Waking up depressed

Today was one of "those" days, waking up was a chore. I have been having a bout of depression for the last few days and yesterday night was the pinnacle of it. Took almost every ounce of will power I had to refrain myself from lashing out at innocent people who were there at my place of work... Made me realise one thing though, that I am far from being a spiritually progressed person. This morning waking up, I found it almost even hard to breathe... spent the whole day in bed lazing about in the dark and just vegetating. In my bout of self-depreciation I began thinking of Mother Kuan Yin, and my "poor me" feelings although not totally erased... did begin to subside.... and inspired me to write a verse of praise to Mother Kuan Yin.....

Within every sentient being is a spark of Divine Mother Kuan Yin

Engulfed in Sadness the pain within my heart burns deep,

Depressed by Sorrow my spirit hovers burdened and weary,
And then you appear, into my life your compassion seaps,
Into my mind your kindness soothes away all my dreadful worries

For when i am embraced by your Light,
No other solace do I need
And when I am enveloped by your Love
My Joy again rises to its highest peaks...

Divine Mother Kuan Shih Yin
Hold me close in your Light,
Keep me near in your Love

Divine Mother Kuan Shih Yin
There is NO other I need,
and None other I seek.


Only you, only you, only you
Om Mani Padme Hum
