We have not come here to take prisoners
We ARE waking up…
Reading from Waimea practice 03/06/2010
We are waking up.
As heaven and earth come together, as the dream-time and daytime merge, we register the shockingly exhilarating fact that we are in charge of creating a New Earth. Not in some distant time or faraway place, but right here and right now..
The Time Will Come…
Reading and Anara SPA practice – 03/01/2010
The time will come
When,
With elation,
You will greet yourself arriving
At your own door, in your own mirror,
And each will smile at the other’s welcome,
And say, sit here, Eat.
You will love again the stranger who was yourself.
Give wine, Give bread, Give back your heart
To itself, to the stranger who has [...]
Forgotten Family
Reading at Koloa Hong Wan JI practice 03/01/2010
As I descend into basement shadows, I am washed in red.

As light reveals, so also shadows are spawned.
Sleeping Beauty
Reading at Waimea practice 03/02/2010

I Want Both of Us
Reading at Koloa practice March 1, 2010
I Want Both of Us
To start talking about this great love
As if you, I and the Sun were all married

Weave and sew
Care for our beautiful
Animals.
We all leave each morning
To labor on the earth’s field.
No one does not lift [...]
Rise in Love
Reading at Waimea 02/23/2010
The stars are the eyes of Existence watching our every move,
hanging upon the rise & fall of our laughter,

weeping tears of Light when they see us cry.
So let’s kiss the Moment with enough vehemence & passion
to inspire the whole Universe to rise as In-Love with [...]
Tired of Speaking Sweetly

Be Like Water…
Reading from Koloa Hong Wan JI practice 2/08/2010
Water changes shape and even form,
but keeps its essence.
River changes water and even course, but keeps its essence.
Trust the unchanging in changing.
Be like water and river.
Moving and staying,
changing and unchanging
Know and soften
Soften and change
Change and endure
Be like water
Think like river
