Light
Light, my light, the world-filling light, the eye-kissing light, heart-sweetening light! Ah, the light dances, my darling, at the center of my life; the light strikes, my darling, the chords of my love; the sky opens, the wind runs wild, laughter passes over the earth. The butterflies spread their sails on the sea of light. Lilies and jasmines surge up on the crest of the waves of light. The...
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 MoreA crack in everything….
The birds they sang at the break of day Start again, I heard them say Don’t dwell on what has passed away or what is yet to be. The wars they will be fought again The holy dove, be caught again bought and sold and bought again the dove is never free. Photo by Ivan Vranić on Unsplash Ring the bells that still can ring. Forget your perfect offering. There is a crack in...
Read MoreOne of Us
Someday,the light will shine like a sun through my skin & they will say, What have you done with your life? & though there are many moments I think I will remember, in the end, I will be proud to say I was one of us. -Brian...
Read MoreForgotten Family
As I descend into basement shadows, I am washed in red. Smoothness is not a choice on the earthly plane. As light reveals, so also shadows are spawned. With this I must learn to rock my ignorance to sleep to await its hungry cry. I must feed my insincerity its milky gruel. I must give my meanness rapt attention. I must dine with my shallowness and play chess with my incompetence. I must massage...
Read MoreSplit You Wide Open
Light will someday split you open Even if your life is now a cage For a Divine seed, the crown of destiny, Is hidden and sown on an ancient, fertile plain You hold title to. Life will surely bust you wide open Into an unfettered, blooming new galaxy Even if your mind is now a spoiled mule. A life-giving radiance will come – O look again within yourself, For I know you were once the...
Read MoreLive Without Thought of Dying
We work so hard to fly and no matter what heights we reach our wings get folded near a candle, at the end. For nothing can enter God but Himself, our souls are some glorious substance of the divine that no sentry wants to stop. Live without thought of dying, for dying is not a truth. We have swayed on the sky’s limb together, many years there the same leaves grow. But then they get...
Read MoreThe transition of Despair
Those who are in despair over the state of the planet, ask yourselves: Does your despair take into account the powers and possibilities that these stories imply? Could it be that despair shunts miracles out of reality, making it so they do not happen, never have, and never will? Don’t worry. Despair is a normal transition zone born of the realization of the futility of control. You needn’t...
Read MoreGoddess of Autumn
We’ve made a bouquet of decorative grass. We’ve woven a garland of night blossoms. We’ve brought our offering of newly ripened paddy. Come, O goddess of Autumn, in Your chariot of white cloud. Come on Your pure blue path. Come in the clean bright forest hills. Come, wearing in Your crown white lotuses, freshly bedewed. Your throne is arranged with fallen jasmine flowers in a...
Read MoreI am your Friend….
I am your friend and my love for you goes deep. There is nothing I can give you which you do not have: but there is much, very much that while I cannot give it, you can take. No heaven can come to us unless our hearts find rest in today. Take heaven! No peace lies in the future which is not hidden in this present little instant. Take peace! The gloom of the world is but a shadow. Behind it, yet...
