11-24-10 a poem

Hands delve deep into the heart 

Grasping angel's wings 

Now catapulted up into the inner-stars 

As eternity explodes in our eyes 

And worlds ring out like stones dancing across the water

The Joy of Flight

A bird does not question
the invisible rivers
upon which it glides.

In bliss it surrenders
to the joy of flight
and is free.

Our flowering presence

Our

Presents

Flower

from our

Presence

Until life is Ungraspable

To know All That We Are,

find a safe place and shatter a glass and observe the shatter.

Meditate upon what is seen.

The one has become the many, yet still there is one.

This is it! That is that!



Deepen into this understanding, and at once the shatter is no more.

The pieces vanish. The wholeness that was, that shattered,

is known again; wholly, from the shard (soul) and as the whole (God).
All is one.

The shards are the one.
The stars are the one.
The one is the stars.
The one is the souls.
And still there is more.
Let this example point you beyond.

Shatter until there is no-thing left to shatter,
until life is ungraspable.

I am here and I am there

I write, and yet I don't
I speak, and yet I am silent
I walk, but yet I'm motionless

I don't pretend to understand
There are many mansions, doorways, and mirrors

And yet
there are none

How I know these two realities baffles
But today
Now
I don't care

For I am here
and I am there

Here We may BE

There is no you, only I
There is no they, he, or she, only Eye
We have evolved to discover the prism
The one refraction creating the dark/light
Eons have danced as waves on a sea
And now through revolution
Here We may BE

Ask until you feel

There are no locks or combinations needed,
No required lands to visit,
No pages need memorizing,

Just ask, "Who Am I?"
and ceaselessly until you hear.

No tongue,
No ear,
No body,
No mind,

Listen with your feelings;
the empty cup ready to receive

And like a butterfly I will land
and pollinate your soul,
and we will bloom
eternally.

Listen

Though we design the grandest of structures
ALL kneel in the presence of God;
In the eye of I AM.
Each is revealed as the dust of dream they are
in love's Xray.
No matter the genius of our shadow constructions
they only hint at who we truly are.

The echo does not reveal the canyon,
it points to the mystery
beyond the known.
Listen...

The Bottomless Well

There is a bottomless well
of which I drink.
Ocean-eyed.
Heart Ablaze.

And as this elated wind
I realized
I needed less,
not more.

Come Sit in the Valley

come sit in the valley
with me
no words
in silent reverie
let us know
let us become aware
traveling beyond the skin
beyond the thoughts
follow the angels into the inexpressible
under a waterfall of infinity
I await your return
the gateway of grace is now open
come home

The Empty/Full Sun

Groundless of being

Veiled in a web of stained-glass dream

Eons weave timelessly

Knowing rains

Specks fill with teeming life

A connected matrix of Love

A conscious collective

Space

Flowing

Surging

Growing

Merging

Carrying the sediment

The sand, the souls

Home

We deepen

We widen

Touching

Dancing

Embracing

Advancing through fractal fancy

Stars into the Sun

The emptyfull Sun

One river

One ocean

One

The Centerless Center

See a vein,

and the vein is.

See a vein on a leaf,

and a leaf is.

See a leaf on a branch,

and a branch is.

See a branch on a tree,

and a tree is.

See a tree in a wood,

and the woods are.

See the woods in a field,

and a field is.

See a field in a state,

and a state is.

See a state in a country,

and a country is.

See a country on a planet,

and a planet is.

See a planet in a solar system,

and a solar system is.

See a solar system in a constellation,

and the constellation is.

See the constellation in a galaxy,

and the galaxy is.

See the galaxy in a universe,

and the universe is.

See the universe in Space,

and Space is.

See Space in the vein,

and then the vein IS.

Knowing

An empty explosion

Reality-shattering

Mirror-shattering

Engulfing

Destroying

Emancipating

Illuminating

Transforming

No light show

No spaceships

No masters on mountains

No homecoming

No forms

Beyond

Just

An imperceptible comfort

A knowing

That reveals through self-destruction

Now, there is only ONE

Ineffable

Formless

Empty center/non-centered

Awakened non-dreamer

Before the waves

Before the geometry

Before the numbers

Before the thought

Before the Angels

Before the stars

Before the fragments

Before the tongue

A cradle of nothing /everything

Just

IS

And IS

so much more

A Poem

Ah, so this is what they meant.
No wonder they are idolized;
With inferno eyes
that gaze upon timeless stretches

We are blinded by them,
so in our blindness
we will know the light
we Are
