Once again I find myself offering up a few selected poems from this week’s output.
This week Amoda and I had a moment of reflection on what our life was like back in England, the journey involved in getting to America and the unfolding experience of being here, now in Santa Fe, New Mexico. It has been quite something, and changed us both in so many ways.
For myself it has made me grow up and be in the world. I cannot believe I spent so many years, even decades, floundering and really quite lost. It seems the environment of the UK just wasn’t working for either of us. But oh my was it fertile ground for invisible growth. It’s never too late my friend, for the flower to bloom.
Onto the poems.
I was always coming apart It’s just that in the early days It was all unconscious Then the pendulum swung And grace dumped me In the wrathful arms Of a wild shaman He threw me in the fire And tore me open Then I met my beloved And love forged me Into this. ------------------------------------- The love that awakened inside me Has no limits, no boundaries And the more I give myself to it Not when I feel like it but always The more it reaches out Into the world of form And tries to touch all it meets This is not my love I don’t own it or create it I serve it. ------------------------------------- Walk through The door of freedom Empty of knowledge And free of baggage. -------------------------------------- Face the parts of yourself You want to avoid There is no other way To return to wholeness. ------------------------------------- When you realize That you can let life Flow into you Because you are Greater than you imagined And as free as the air And as strong as the sun And you don't have to live In a constant state Of defendedness Everything changes And you mature Naturally. ------------------------------------- In the time of righteous judgment Be undefended and free Feed nothing but love. ------------------------------------- If your heart hasn’t broken open yet It is only because the truth of life Hasn’t caught up with you yet. ------------------------------------- Sometimes the journey of transformation Requires great courage Digging deep into inner resources To face what has been denied There is no one who doesn’t have this courage And the discovery of this courage itself Transforms us. -------------------------------------- There is a secret world hidden inside this one. If you long for it with all your heart and never settle for anything less, at some point the door of the inner kingdom will open, and your life will be filled with a richness and joyous simplicity the mind can barely imagine. --------------------------------------- When everything is welcome There is no more to be afraid of. ---------------------------------------- Thank you reading, I deeply appreciate it.
