Living in service to Life.

August 2009

 

Becoming Eternity
 
The utterly concurrent
Arising and dissolving
Of this unique experience
Of immeasurable life
Gives rise to the illusion
Through calculated precision
Of the permanent impermanence
Of unrelenting time
 
Through opening beyond
The doing and undoing
Of every seeming thing
That seemingly is done
Reveals the deepest essence
Outside all comprehension
Of the absolute experience
Of the eternity of Now
 
Expanding on the structure
Of how we learned to learn
Shifts all understanding
Of what we thought we knew
And brings a human grace
And an otherworldly peace
To the never-ending state
Of becoming what we are

Disconnect
 
I offer sacred love
            You see indifference
I present deepest joy
            You receive only sadness
 
I offer sacred space
            You regard it as suffocation
I present deepest nourishment
            You feel only hunger
 
I offer sacred wholeness
            You imagine separation
I present deepest safeness
            You know only fear
 
I offer sacred wealth
            You judge it as deprivation
I present deepest unity
            You endure only isolation
 
I offer sacred eternity
            You perceive death
I present deepest truth
            You sense only injustice
 
I offer sacred peace
            You internalize is as violence
I present deepest healing
            You experience only pain
 
You cannot speak my language
            So instead I will speak yours
Interlacing sacred patience
            And the depth of true compassion
 
This trusting faithful gesture
            Will penetrate your being
Reviving the connection
            To the sacred depth of I   


Moment Of Truth

 
Emotions
Too big to bear
Incinerate
All sense of self
Leaving only
The signature vibration
Of a single judgment
As it arose
From limited perspective
In a futile attempt
To guard against
An experience
That already is
 
Isolated
From all other thoughts
This one judgment
Is exposed as a fraud
Allowing you
To penetrate deeper
Into the illusion
From which it sprang
 
Feeling too small
To contain
Such enormity
And then surviving
Reveals the truth
Of what can be borne
 
Life as you knew it
Has ended
Creating an opening
For new possibilities
And realizations
Of innate eternity
To arise from the ashes
And guide you though
Those experiences
The innocent self
Was powerless to navigate
 
Who is it that deemed
That experience
To be unbearable
Anyway?


Bittersweet Surrender
 
I feel like I
Am in quicksand
Or a bad dream
Where I can’t escape
No matter which way
I turn 
 
In my awareness
I know
Even these
Most painful moments
Are sacred
Offered in service
From the higher Good
So that I may stretch
Beyond concepts
Of a limited self
 
Every ending
And each exhale
Is a new beginning
 
Each layer of form
That dissolves
Reveals more of that
Which is formless
Within
And without me
 
I will not resist
This devastation
 
I will become the peace
That is also here 
I will bear the unbearable
With surrender and gratitude
So that life may live
More fully Though me


Trusting Life

 
Taking Life
Into my hands
Along the
Winding way
 
Trusting in
Each step I take
And every word
I say
 
 
Traveling Here
 
Traveling
In darkest times
Trusting
Inspiration
Connectedness
In lonely times
Faith
Without exception
 
Accepting
All that
Comes to pass
Owning
What I do
Knowing
There are
No mistakes
Clarity
Shines through
 
Certainty
Breeds confidence
Cultivating
Joy
Responding
To each scene
With care
Wise
To each decoy
 
Gracefully
I rise and fall
Destiny
Draws near
Purpose
Behind every act
Peace
Is always here

 
Relax

 
Relax
And discover
Your perfection
 
As long as you
Are tense
You are only
Pretending
To be whole
 
But when you
Are real
There is nothing
To fear
And no one to
Protect
 
Relax
Into Authenticity
 
Let go of the
Thoughts
Of who you are
And who you
Should be
Or could be
Or would have been
But aren’t
Whether they are
Your thoughts
Or another’s
 
They are masking
Your destiny
They conceal
The Truth
They are limiting
The experience
Of Life
As it must be lived
In the way that
Only You can
 
Relax
Into love
And discover
You are perfectly
Whole
