Perfection
Listen to the silence behind all the sound.
Life is not about being comfortable,
Comfort does not challenge you to learn and grow.
Life is about experiencing:
Hot and cold
Good and bad
Having and longing
Passion and indifference
Happiness and suffering
Beauty and unpleasantness
Hopefulness and hopelessness
Until you realize the perfection of each,
That without the other, the one could not exist.
Until you realize that life simply is,
And you become one with it.
Listen to the eternal silence.
Perfectly Me
You may not understand me
Because you understand differently.
You may not agree with me
Because you feel differently.
You can nonetheless accept it as my truth
If you choose to.
Quiet the mind,
You will not find the answer there.
Realize the truth
That is deep within you
I may not be perfect
But I am perfectly me.
Untitled
You cannot see me by looking at me
You cannot understand me through your mind
You cannot locate me by touching me
You cannot identify me through knowing my scent
You cannot discover me by kissing me
You cannot learn about me through asking questions
You can only know me by sensing me
And through finding me you will also find yourself
The Light
The light that shines on what is true
Lights up the dark the whole night through
And even when it’s cold and gray
When stormy rain clouds have their way
And when the winter storm does bite
I know it’s there still shining bright
I feel its warmth upon my face
Never have I felt such grace
