Watching Sunlight

I watched sunlight today
playing with shadows
on a white trash can
in my kitchen.

It played 'round
the passing clouds
in the morning sky,
creating moving shadows
of things which were
not moving at all.

Now .. a crisp shadow...
then a brighter beam
and the shadows blurred
as the rays curved
'round and thru the clouds,
making the shadows
dance before me
on the blank whiteness.

I watched sunlight today
playing with shadows,
and it beamed with delight.

If not me, then.... who?

Future

 “Let others lead small lives, but not you. Let others argue over small things, but not you. Let others cry over small hurts, but not you. Let others leave their future in someone else's hands, but not you.”

― Jim Rohn 

Sometimes Memories

You know it’s coming,

But who expects it?

She came into my life

On this third leg of my life’s journey.

She walked with me,

Talked to me,

Meditated with me,

Slept with me,

Ate with me,

Her presence always expected.

And when apart,

I remembered her fully,

And often…

An Always Memory.

She grew old and weaker,

And left in a quiet moment.

Then, all I had was a memory …

Good memories,

Repented memories,

Happy memories,

Just … memories.

And the days pass,

And the months pass,

And the years fly by.

I don’t think of her as often.

She has become a Sometimes Memory.

But that’s not a bad thing.

Everything, everyone will become

A Sometimes Memory to me,

As I will to them.

That’s Life … and that’s OK.

Nothing is ever lost, really,

Nor totally forgotten.

All is recorded in the Akashic Records, God’s Heart.

At the least,

I will have been a memory to someone,

For some time,

For some thing I said or did,

Even if only a Sometimes Memory to most.

Troublemakers

Since no one really knows
anything about God,
those who think they do
are just troublemakers.

                                   --- Hafiz

Religion, for all its intent to keep humanity connected --- to one another and to God (Source of Life) --- has been the catalyst in creating violence and wars (in the name of God) throughout the centuries.

But thank God for Faith, which, in its best practice, counteracts the stupidity of religious fervor.

Creative Spirit

My mind is flooded
with ideas,
with words,
with pictures,
with music,
with invention,
with possibilities,
so easiily overwhelmed.

Then what do I follow?
What project do I start?
What possibility to develop?

Choose one? Which one?
Do I have the resources
to complete it?
How much do I need to do ... at all?

Tao speaks:
Do nothing,
and you will accomplish everything.

I need a personal assistant.

The Last Line.....

If you have trouble believing in anyone or anything, 

at least believe in yourself, 

and in that, 

you believe in everything.

Loved

I joy in the memory…

A memory of love,

Of tenderness,

    of caressing

        and caring.

God’s gift to an old man,

Reminds me of His Love,

A smile of approval,

To know the touch of flesh,

And the breath of passion,

The warmth of a smooth kiss,

A look of tenderness,

     of acceptance,

No matter the state of the body.

For in that moment

    of passion,

We are both beautiful,

    desirable,

       and fulfilled.

Deo Gratias

Community

Burning, roaring Stars clustered together

Basking in each others’ light.

So incredibly distant are they

From each other

They know not

One another’s plight.

Burning, radiant Souls cluster together

Basking in each others’ light.

So sadly distant are they

By their egos’ traps

They know not

Each other’s life.

The Journey Within

To walk in Nature Is a marvel,

A lesson in creative diversity.

But my mind takes me INTO Nature,

Like a mini cam entering the stoma of a leaf,

Observing the structures of its molecules,

Congestions of atoms

Shining like stars

With their own planetary systems.

Microcosms…

Within the microcosm…

Within the macrocosm…

Within ….. ?

Every cell in every bodily structure

Vibrating, pulsing, singing,

Creating a symphony within my head ---

They call it Tinnitus –

(Sounds so high beyond the highest audible note)

And the ever-present OM,

Weaving melodies,

Yes, symphonies,

Notes pulsing,

Now forte, now pianissimo,

Undulating, sweeping phrases

Filling my inner space with sound,

Now swelling,
Now fading.

And in the course of time and activity

The vibrations outside the body

Vie for attention…

And often win.

This is just MY experience,

One of countless monads

With countless experiences…

And in any moment,

G₃ sees all, knows all,

Sighs and laughs.

Believer In Exile

Can one worship the Ground of All Being

In any other way

Than by fulfilling one's intended purpose?

                      

Can one please the Source of Life

In any other way

Than by daring to live life fully?

Can one honor the Source of Love

In any other way

Than by daring to love unconditionally

And with abandon?

Being… Living… Loving =

The Scientist says “energy”...

1.       Always was, is and will be

2.       Cannot be created or destroyed

3.       Constantly evolves new material forms

We are a collection of energy in various forms, from the material to the ethereal.

The Theogian says “God”...

1.       Always was, is and will be

2.       Is the Creator of everything, therefore cannot be created or destroyed

3.       Constantly creates new forms and animates them

We are made in the image and likeness of God.

You are ....

You are not separate from the whole.
You are one with the sun, the earth, the air.
You don't have a life.

YOU ARE LIFE!
