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.

Found in the Unloved

The splay of splendor
enraptures and entangles,thank God!
The perspective is what paints the scene
Out of whose eyes do you now gaze?
Follow your fear for I am so near
Just beyond the veil
I am found in what is unloved

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

Hello All.

Tonight I am performing in a 60's themed concert at Bushnell Church - should be fun.

I am singing "Smile", "The Impossible Dream", "Unchained Melody" , "Climb Every Mountain", "I left My Heart In San Francisco", and "Imagine."

Still tweaking the site and booking gigs.

North Carolina Trip

Well, again North Carolina was wonderful. We resonate with this land. The time with family was priceless, and the time spent at the light center and in Black Mountain was perfect. We met new and amazing beings and will embrace and celebrate them again. I look to be scheduling a "Singing / Chanting / Being" Seminar in Black Mountain, North Carolina in the Fall.

Here are some pictures from the trip - Enjoy!

Cal, Brad, and I

Happy Birthday to me! I can not believe I am 41+eternity.

We are off to Charlotte and Asheville, North Carolina for the next week.

God bless,
Rich

This new site.

I have created new web architecture for RichardSchooping.com. I have not built a site for years; I hope you enjoy the simplicity. I will be adding and tweaking, but my main concern is communication. This blog will be utilized as well as the "Google Calendar." I enjoyed working on this site. Shows will be added to the site soon.

I am inspired and thankful.
