Reality

And when one realizes 

who is in charge, 

one can guide his or her journey 

through Life's hazardous maze 

to it's end, 

though often

not without scars.

Let's get drunk...

"Let's hold hands and get drunk near the sun
And sing sweet songs to God
Until He joins us with a few notes
From His own sublime lute and drum."
                                       
                                                    Hafiz

OMG

With every sigh,
Every jolt,
Every raindrop
      falling upon a leaf, a cow, a stream,
With every laugh
      and every tear,
With every footstep and wink,
With every aching orgasm,
      every popping seed
and bird's wing flapping,

God gasps
      with ecstatic emotion.

The Snowfall

Each trunk,

   Each branch,

      Each twig,

So carefully traced 

In sugary white.

Frosted limbs sparkling

In the noonlight

Like crystalline lace

Draped upon the forest’s dark

Until the sun’s kiss

Shall melt the iced shards

And finally quench

Silva’s winter thirst.

What are you?

"We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience" --- Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

Age

Age makes no excuses, and often delights in surprises.

Love is like that....

Even After All this time
The sun never says to the earth,
“You owe Me.”

Look What happens
With a love like that,

It lights the Whole Sky.
                         
                      Hafiz

.....without needing to rest....
and it is always Day....
                       me

The joke's on you!!!

God Disguised
As a myriad things and
Playing a game
Of tag
Has kissed you and said,
“You’re it—

I mean, you’re Really IT!”

Now It does not matter
What you believe or feel

For something wonderful,
Major-league Wonderful

Is someday going
To Happen.
                        Hafiz

New Year

Well - Happy New Year!
As we progress along the horizontal line of "Time," let us also keep alive our "Vertical" connection to Source - God - Allah - Shiva - Etc. But let us not confuse the Great Mind with the great minds of incarnated prophets and gurus. These messengers are the Great Mind's way of reminding us of our roots. To think of these great souls as God Incarnate is not wrong ... only misinterpreted. We are all incarnations of God. We are all children of the Most High (to take from Hebrew and Christian Scripture itself), and if the child is an evolutionary "copy" of what the parent is, then we are God.  Then act as such - with Divine Compassion, and creating newness in every moment.

Yes, you are ....

Envoi
God within me, God without,
How shall I ever be in doubt?
There is no place where I may go
And not there see God's face, not know
I am God's vision and God's ears
So through the harvest of my years
I am the Sower and the Sown
God's self unfolding and God's own.

From a tenth C. gravestone, St. Lars Church, Linkoping, Sweden

Going Nowhere

This TED talk is a reminder of our human need to just "be."

Going Nowhere

Quantum Religion

"I have dealt with the many questions of faith as it is presumed..and I am certain that each of us is conceived of the Spirit, born of Virgin, and bears their part in the sufferings and death of the Eternal."

 --- Mary Berlin

Understand.....

Change 
is the law 
of God's mind, 
and resistance to it 
is the source 
of all pain.

Atheist? =

Change 
is the law 
of the universe, 
and resistance to it 
is the source 
of all pain.

Thanks, Craig!!!
