Patient Trust in Ourselves and the Slow Work of God
Reading at Koloa practice 2/6/2012 Above all, trust in the slow work of God, We are, quite naturally, impatient in everything to reach the end without delay. We should like to skip the intermediate stages. We are impatient of being on the way to something unknown, something new, And yet it is the law of ail progress that it is made by passing through some stages of instability- And that it may...
Read MoreAre You looking for me?
Reading at Koloa and Anara practice 1/30/2012 Are you looking for me? I am in the next seat. My shoulder is against yours. You will not find me in the stupas, not in Indian shrine rooms, nor in synagogues, nor in cathedrals: Not in masses, nor kirtans, not in legs winding around your own neck, nor in eating nothing but vegetables. When you really look for me you will see me Instantly— You...

Read MoreYour Laughter…
Reading at Koloa practice 1/12/2012 Laughter by Glennis Siverson Take breath away from me, if you wish, take air away, but do not take from me your laughter.

Reading at Koloa an Anara practices 1/8/2012 A Walk With My Soul by Linaji All attempts to meditate are the abject denial of it… J.

Read MoreRight This Second
Reading at Waimea practice 01/07/2012 I want to know about now the now beneath my fingertips gone already, once aware of itself only in knowing it was, however briefly now, already left redundant not caring what came next any more than what passed, now, not caring whether moments exist when they disappear as footsteps erased by concrete now, no forward, no back, was but a motion carried by the...
Read MoreWhen I Was the Forest
Reading at Koloa and Anara practices 1/26/2012 When I was the stream, when I was the forest, when I was still the field, when I was every hoof, foot, fin and wing, when I was the sky itself, no one ever asked me did I have a purpose, no one ever wondered was there anything I might need, for there was nothing I could not love. It was when I left all we once were that the agony began, the fear and...

Reading at Koloa practice 12/15/2011 Pray to whoever you kneel down to: Jesus nailed to his wooden or marble or plastic cross, his suffering face bent to kiss you, Buddha still under the Bo tree in scorching heat, Yahweh, Allah, raise your arms to Mary that she may lay her palm on our brows, to Shekinhah, Queen of Heaven and Earth, to Inanna in her stripped descent. Hawk or Wolf, or the Great...
Read MoreI have learned not to worry about Love…
In the moment by Linaji Yoga reading Waimea practice 12/10/2011 I have learned not to worry about love but to honor its coming with all my heart. To examine the dark mysteries of the blood with headless heed and swirl, to know the rush of feelings swift and flowing as water. The source appears to be some inexhaustible spring within our twin and triple selves; the new face I turn up to you no one...
