A NEW WIND IS BLOWING THROUGH
As you receive this, Amoda and I are spending one night in a decent hotel in Taos, New Mexico, enjoying a joint birthday. We have left Peyote our pup with a house sitting pet sitter and, although it’s a wrench, we felt we needed a minor break.
May these words find you at peace.
Here are some poems from my Twitter output this week.
True relationship is a constant meeting in truth Drenched in respect and kindness. ------------------------------------------- The raw truth is The human spirit Is indomitable Invincible, untamable Still it is here In you, in me, in us No amount of tyranny Fear or suffering Ever kills that essence Nor ever will. ----------------------------------------- Why does the past Keep knocking on your door? Because it wants to be welcomed home Everything wants to be loved Everything wants union Into love The past dissolves When it is welcomed Into unconditionality. --------------------------------------- The inner universe Is as magnificent And mysterious And eternal As the outer universe Those who travel within Require as much courage As those who travel In the outer world. --------------------------------------- If we could only see That the world itself Is the beloved Calling us to greater intimacy We would stop all this Arrogance and division And fall in love Not with any thing But with life It would stop being a problem To be solved And be as it is A beautiful mystery To be lived. --------------------------------------- Some of the most powerful breakthroughs of my life Have happened at the lowest points Never underestimate crisis As a catalyst for transformation. -------------------------------------- The story of your life Loss and success Heart break and grief Joy and wonder Everyone you loved And everything you did Inscribed onto eternity Tell me, who writes that? Is it you Or is it some vast and majestic poet Scribing living poems That become stardust And super nova. ---------------------------------------- See through the eyes of love Again and again Until all notion Of subject and object Dissolve into eternity. ---------------------------------------- A hair’s breadth from eternity We stand miraculously here In this exquisite moment A majesty of form and formless We squander our time Squabbling over that Which slips through our fingers Like sand Let us, you and I, dare to be free When all around tie themselves up in chains.
