The Quiet Whisper

As we make that
Crucial judgment
Yet again,
Mother Earth whispers
Her wisest intervention,
“Find another way.”
She warns of
The mysterious performer
Crafting a new act
For your thinking mind
An illusion providing escape
Within a false reality.
The gift of divine mind
Has another way.
Reach deep
To find what’s there.
A muted message
Is carried
On the wind.
May the circle of love
Heal with its
Magnificent song,
Completing its flawless miracle.
May the power of kindness bind you
To each precious moment
May peace and grace flow through you
So when you fall,
You land softly
In the quiet stillness
Of life’s loving embrace.

As Each Moment Arises

Both past and future moments
Are distractions,
Illusions of life.
Reliving past events
Anticipating future results
Are the design and intention
Of the egoic mind.
Directing energy in illusion.
Fall into the flow of
Each moment as it arises
Be present,
Absent of ego and personality
Conscious in the now
Past and future will disappear
You will discover
The magical mystery
The quiet stillness
The kingdom of heaven
That is within you.
This is your destiny
To find the forgiveness
To find the joy
To find the love
To find the peacefulnessIn each and every day

The Body

It is your temple
A place of great hope,
Harmony, love and joy
A magical kingdom
Of great mystery
A mind of its own
Breathing, beating
Constantly in repair
A miracle entrusted
To only you.
You choose its nourishment
Its fluids and air
Choose carefully
As this is a temple
Of vigorous health or despair.

Another Kind of Miracle

There are those who promote
The miracles of history
The parting of the waters
The healing of the sick
The raising from the dead
And yet there is another
That which is within.
The miracle of seeing life
In a different way.
Seeing the connectedness
Instead of the separateness
Seeing the love and kindness
Instead of dark intent
Assuming the best
Instead of the worst
Seeing the beauty
Instead of the beast
Another kind of miracle
The change of heart.

Being Alone

There exists an irrational fear
Of being alone.
Some will tolerate
Unbelievable circumstances
In order to avoid being alone.
Being alone starts with being.
A simple question
How to be? Just be?
Master that and
You may master being alone.
Being starts with
Becoming more real, then
Becoming more real, then
Becoming more real.
Finding the truth that is inside.
Leaving behind that which
Isn’t true, the illusion, the lies.
To listen, with your very being
To the quiet stillness, between
Each beat of your heart.
It is found beneath the quiet
That is beneath the quiet,
That is beneath the quiet.
Not a physical act,
But a surrender,
A leaving behind of that
Which has never been real.
The layers, upon layers,
Upon layers of illusion.
Listening for the sounds,
Beneath the sounds, that are
Beneath the sounds.
This is the magnificence
The quiet stillness of being,
Of being alone.
Love, forgiveness, kindness
Because nothing else ever
Really mattered.
You are one with it all
You have never been alone
Alone is an illusion
Being is the truth
Being is the promise
The kingdom of heaven
Is within your very being.

The Breath of Life

We breathe in
We breathe out
We invite the outside in
To exchange greetings with
Our inside self
And then back out again
In our minds eye, through
Each and every
Cell, bone, organ, and pore
Refreshment, restoration
Draw the outside in
Release the inside out
Until the outside and inside
Are one in this given instant
Receiving and giving
Nothing missing
And without desire,
Without intent
Without time
All is one, one is all
And so it goes
The purpose of it all
One mind, one taste, one world
Not knowing, only appreciating
That we are one
In love, in complete intimacy
In cosmic oneness
No problems, No issues
Rightness, simplicity,
Timelessness
No mind
Just purity of mind
And purity of spirit.
Nothing special,
Simply magnificent.

Desire

Desire originates in the acquired mind of personality. Desire has an irresistible nature, and for some of us, is the most difficult challenge in achieving our true nature. Within our egoic mind, the yearnings of desire are based on the false belief that satisfaction of a desire leads to happiness, only to find that it satisfies nothing and only leads to the next desire.

Desire is much like unrequited love. It leads us nowhere and is a figment of our egoic imagination. Watching desire rise and fall without acting, forms the starting line to our true nature.

The End of Desire

The end of desire is
The end of a life lived in illusion
The end of jealousy, insecurity and fear
For desire leads us only
To the next desire
The endless search for fulfillment
While that treasure can only
Be found within.
