The irresistible and benevolent light brushes through the angel-wing begonias, the clippings of ruddy ears for the living room. Intimate motes, debris of grounded, forlorn walks, speckle through the vitreous quality of blush. As fluid lulls turn like trout backs, azure-tipped fins oscillate in the shallows, the clear floating is dizziness. Tender events are meetingContinue reading “Illumination”

It’s not a hug, or a toy at Christmas It’s not a colored egg at Easter Or a bunny hopping across the meadow It’s a vote, saying you are a citizen Though sometimes it is traveling and sometimes a no. It can be male of female It can be right or left I can disagreeContinue reading “Vote”

Just as the eagle that rises above storms  I Increase The Frequency to ascend my soul,  flying high and mighty soaring in the heavens  overcoming life’s perils with  illumination,  a greater awareness and a wider perception  is a master key to one of life’s greater lessons,  pondering life’s great mysteries with epic meditation  the higherContinue reading “Increase The Frequency”

Silently and serenely, one forgets all words, Clearly and vividly, it appears before you. When one realizes it, time has no limits. When experienced, your surroundings come to life. Singularly illuminating this bright awareness, Full of wonder is the pure illumination. The moon’s appearance, a river of stars, Snow-clad pines, clouds hovering on mountain peaks.Continue reading “SILENT ILLUMINATION”

豆燃豆萁， Lighting the bean stalk to boil the beans, * 豆在釜中泣。 and of this the beans thus wailed: * 本自同根生， “Borne are we of the same root; * 相煎何太急 should you now burn me with such disregard?”  Written by 曹植 (Cáozhí)  Created during the Three Kingdoms period (220 – 280 AD)

I was passionate, filled with longing, I searched far and wide. But the day that the Truthful One found me, I was at home. Written By Lal Ded  (Kashmir, 14th century)  Translated by Jane Hirshfield

Until the House is built And then the Props withdraw And adequate, erect, The House support itself And cease to recollect The Auger and the Carpenter— Just such a retrospect Hath the perfected Life— A past of Plank and Nail And slowness—then the Scaffolds drop Affirming it a Soul. Written By Emily Dickinson 

There is such a place, you know– one that transcends time and space and visions of what you’re supposed to resemble,  and the limits placed by the digits of your mortal age. I can feel the presence of it  in my bones, where the sky is never ending and liberated and the sun and moon Continue reading “Green Nirvana”

Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.  Avoid loud and aggressive persons,Continue reading “Desiderata”
