Another week flows by in the time based world. I have been increasingly aware of the fragility of life. It endlessly softens this heart and mind.
To be so in love with life without clutching at it, that is the delicate dance I aspire to.
I offer you a few short poems from this week’s produce. I hope you enjoy them and they speak to your deepest.
The closer you get to the flame The more you are called to surrender The one who wants to survive. ------------------------------------------ When the time comes For this tiny drop To return to the ocean Let it be said He surrendered with grace With sorrow and with joy He lived as best he could Knowing love is all there is When this tiny drop Dissolves back into the ocean Let it be said He surrendered with grace. ------------------------------------------ Don’t give your allegiance to anxiety or fear It is a terrible master And will shrivel your world to a dried-up pea Give all your allegiance to love And the beauty within To truth, tenderness and grace And it will expand your world Into the universe. ----------------------------------------- Friend, it is never too late To sing your song To give expression To your uniqueness And I’m not talking about Mouthing from your ego I’m talking about Saying your blessed name Into the eternal ocean From your soul. ----------------------------------------- These days I wake up And see God everywhere I cannot account for this It doesn't seem to have anything To do with effort I can't locate this knowing It is everywhere inside and outside A reverie of sorts Yet still there is breakfast And the work of the day to attend to. ------------------------------------------- Become a lover Of the fire of truth That transforms you Love even the resistance That seems to pull you away From the flame. ----------------------------------------- We are magnificent and significant Here by the authority of the divine Nobody can take that away -------------------------------------------- Open so wide There is no you Go so far in You disappear For a moment Let all sense Of boundary Between you And the world Dissolve into one Ah! the ocean of beingness What nourishment, what peace. -------------------------------------------- Let me see your soul Open your windows There is nothing to hide Nakedness is the truth of us. ------------------------------------------- The garden grows naturally When it has been cleared of weeds. --------------------------------------------
