My House Says To Me…
My house says to me. “Do not leave me, for here dwells your past” And the road says to me “Come and follow, for I am your future” And I say to both my house and the road, “I have no past, nor have I a future, If I stay here, there is a going in my staying; And if I go there, is a staying in my going Only Love and Death change all things” Grains of Sand...
Read MoreThe Point Is…
The point here is to take life in all its rich variety just as it is, with its ten thousand opposites, and to go along with whatever circumstances require, embracing things after their own inclination or according to chance, letting things be rather than getting in their way, and thus allowing each and every thing, each and every appearance, to pursue a meaning and purpose distinct from my...
Read MoreHumility, Curiosity
“The world… is indeed a strange and deeply mysterious place, forever changing and remaking itself anew. But this is not a novel condition, our world hasn’t only recently become bizarre and temporary, it has been so ever since its inception, and it will continue to be such until its end — mystifying and forever in a state of flux. Consider: Two pillars for a Fulfilling Life; The first...
Read MoreWe Have Come To Be Danced
We have come to be danced Not the pretty dance Not the pretty pretty, pick me, pick me dance But the claw our way back into the belly Of the sacred, sensual animal dance The unhinged, unplugged, cat is out of its box dance The holding the precious moment in the palms Of our hands and feet dance. We have come to be danced Not the jiffy booby, shake your booty for him dance But the wring the...
Read MoreScars
I’m old. What that means is that I’ve survived (so far) and a lot of people I’ve known and loved did not. I’ve lost friends, best friends, acquaintances, co-workers, grandparents, mom, relatives, teachers, mentors, students, neighbors, and a host of other folks. I have no children, and I can’t imagine the pain it must be to lose a child. But here’s my two...
Read MoreWhat If ?
What if religion was each other? If our practice was our life? If prayer was our words? What if the Temple was the Earth? If forests were our church? If holy water the rivers, lakes and oceans? What if meditation was our relationships? If the Teacher was life? If wisdom was self-knowledge? If Love was the center of our being? What if God was oneself, and all? 1998 Ganga White, Santa Barbara All...
Read MoreThe Stew
A doorway falls apart Shadows puddle round my toes and your life just misses mine… where you will find: My crevasse of caring heart My savored glance My mistletoe kisses My allowing thoughts Now it seems I rely on passionless fruit That still gives up some tang. My time sweeps me up into fractions And a string of theories that echo ‘last call for all that is’ Lays its life in front of...
Read MoreA Quiet Light
“There is a quiet light that shines in every heart. It draws no attention to itself, though it is always secretly there. It is what illuminates our minds to see beauty, our desire to seek possibility, and our hearts to love life. Without this subtle quickening our days would be empty and wearisome, and no horizon would ever awaken our longing. Our passion for life is quietly sustained from...

Read MoreThis Chapter….
This Chapter is closed now Not one word more Until we meet some day and the voices rising to the window take wing and fly Open the old casement To the lands we have forgotten, Look to the mountains and ridgeways And the steep valleys Quilted by Green Here as the last words fall away· The great and silent rivers of life Are flowing into the oceans, And on a day like any other They will carry you...
