What If?

Reading at Bodhi Tree practice 07/01/09 white-lotus-logo
What 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?
f 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?

I kick my own ass and wash my own brain.
I push my own buttons and trick my own pain.
I burn my own flags and roast my own heroes.
I mock my own fears and cheer my own zeroes.

A Meditation and Psychotherapy Story

two-friendsReading at Bodhi Tree - 06/24/09

Two friends met at a cafe one day and began to talk over tea. They told each other of the dissatisfactions in their lives, how life was not what either had expected, how despite their best efforts, they seldom woke up happy in the morning, how they did not want to feel this way for the rest of their lives.

A Walk With My Soul by Linaji

All attempts to meditate are the abject denial of it…J. Krisnamurti

Sometimes when I sit on the ground
for no reason, bills paid
deadlines met, stomach
neither full nor empty
my quiet spreads and fills me with sky
from brain to big bang
I am the blueprint
a marriage of flesh and sapphire
discovering the open eye
