My beloved 

fell into a deep sleep, 

a time of stillness

and few words

and slow steps

and ponderous bites

of every morsel,

you see,

he wanted us to see

how precious 

is movement

and chatting

and meals

eaten with gusto,

he wanted us

to stop fretting

about all the messiness

and uncertainties,

and to appreciate

every little thing

of every pa...

Tuning into the physical plane,

I feel relentless pain and suffering,

tuning into the spiritual plane,

my body dissolves into a million stars, and I feel bliss.

Don't be afraid to change the radio station!

Blend the melodies of both spheres,

and you will hear the music of creation.

I wait for the sun to set 

I wait for the moon to rise

Will the shifting of day into night

bring renewal?

I wait for the rain to fall

I wait for the wind to blow

Will the changing of the seasons

bring resurrection?

I wait for the river to flow

I wait for the earth to shake

Will the turning of the spheres

bring transformation?

I wait for life to reveal itsel...

We spark each other up,

like fireflies,

light dancing from your eyes

to my smile,

voices rising and falling,

good morning! good morning!

One and all,

we greet the day,

we breathe the air,

we toil with our hands

and our minds,

creating nourishment

and comfort.

We lift each other up,

weak and strong,

together,

love emanating from our hearts

to our s...

I see we are here to suffer.

The body breaks down, 

the mind breaks down,

the world breaks down,

the heart breaks,

over and over.

The more I accept we are here to suffer,

the happier I am.

Is happiness the absence of suffering?

Perhaps happiness comes more from embracing suffering.

Holding suffering in my arms lik...

Trust the inner healer,

the all-knowing

seed of creation

that lives deep within the being.

All living things

contain the spark of the divine

interplay between life and death,

a perpetual cycle

of birth and re-birth.

All things live

in a matrix of intertwined renewal--

trust this process,

open your arms wide

to the gifts waiting

to be received.

Trust the...

Accepting people exactly

as they are

is a great gift. 

No desire to change them

one iota

gives great peace.

No judgment, no worries, 

just smiles.

This requires a deep journey to the soul--

creation, birth, life, death--

the full circle.

Accepting people exactly

as they are

is seeing their soul--

luminescent, loving, playful, eternal.
