WELCOME IT ALL HOME

When all is said and done, only the deepest acceptance offers us the peace we seek. I realized that almost always non interference allows a natural flow of innate intelligence that leads to a better outcome than interference. Of course the ego self says ‘no,’ for it is rooted in interference and interpretation. That’s what it does.

And yet..
Spiritual maturity
Is the capacity to watch the river flow
Without any need to interfere with it.

Just leave things alone and see what happens.

Here are some poems, thanks for reading.

---

Friend, how will we speak of our darkness?
As though it were a ghost
That seeks only to haunt us
And we must drive it further into the shadows?

Or as a long lost friend
Who seeks to remind us of something we have lost
And longs to be invited into the warmth of our heart?

---------------------------

The world is inside you
Inside your being,
Your field of consciousness
But you don’t love it
You judge it, scorn it
You may even fear it
Or resent it
But the world is inside you
And the invitation is to love it
As a mother loves her baby
Unconditionally without measure.

-------------------------

Spiritual maturity
Is the capacity to watch the river flow
Without any need to interfere with it.

---------------------------

The depth of you
Is a vast ocean
Far from being a tiny spec
Of a vulnerable body
In a hostile universe

You are the universe
Appearing for a moment
As a unique flower of form
A miracle of existence.

----------------------------

How do you know the grit you feel that you think shouldn’t be there
Because it causes emotional pain,
Is not exactly what you need to grow.

------------------------------

The deeper inside you go
The less of you there is.

-----------------------------

THE WOUNDED HEALER IS YOU.

Admit that what happened hurt you
It broke something open
That created a fracture
And you have been carrying that fracture
For years
Coping, compensating, projecting
Sometimes dragging it around
Like an unwanted gift
Always aware of this heaviness

But slowly something has changed
And now you realize that
What seemed like a burden
Has actually served you
Has forged you, grown you,
Deepened you
And opened your heart
And you no longer resent it
Or hold a grievance
But actually you love it
And in loving it
You let go of it

And now you are free
To love fully
To hold others in tenderness
To carry your wounds
As a blessing and not as a curse

You are the wounded healer.

----------------------------

If you really want to heal the world
Meet your experience
With an open heart
And a non judgmental mind.

----------------------------

Come out, come out
From behind the wall
Of your mind’s knowing
Stop trying to convince everyone
You know anything
Everyone in this gathering
Is a window
Through which God looks.
