Reading from Waimea practice 10/31/09
(Enjoy the audio version – just press play)

Her lineage is impeccable..

But from whence has she come?..

She comes when you don’t want her
When you think you’re not ready

Yet,

When you most need her.

She tolerates no lack of attention
She tolerates no lack of love

She sticks pins in your tender spots
To see if

“You’re done yet”

She never forgives

Yet

She never condemns

See her

Flowing robes
Outstretched arms
Piercing eyes
Pinioned wings

See her

Missing teeth
Limping gate
Rheumy eyes
Shopping cart and cardboard box

Feel her rage that is not hate
Feel her love that is not lust

Hold the warmth and delight
In her newborn skin
Hold her strength and wisdom
In the boles and gnarls and knots of her ancient-ness

Seek her out
Across miles of barren waste
In the steppes of the Himalayas

In aisle ‘B’
next to the baked goods

In the mirror

Seek
Her

She
Seeks
You.

Stories and Feathers

Paul Reynolds — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 20:01:50 +0000

Feathers Dance by Aspects of MK

At one time

Stories

The clinging
Painful, defining
So real,

Then

A letting go
A painful memory

Now ignored

Their beauty shunned
Denied
Cowed from
Their lightness mistaken
For lead.

Being made ready
The master gathers them all
Laying them out so carefully
Given to your hand
So lovingly
You hold each one up to the light
Their plumes bathed in

Brilliance

The exact length
The exact spot,

Unerring placement
Supreme craftsmanship

One supporting the other

Being made ready

Your hand smoothes them down the shaft
And you
“Know”
Right where this one must go
To create the lift
To create the thrust

No more wishing
To be able to dance

On currents
Soar through ethers
Among the stars
‘tween electrons

Into the heart

A Reminder….

Paul Reynolds — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 18:50:25 +0000

We all need a little reminder occasionally of how truly incredible we are. How despite appearances everything – EVERYTHING is just as it should be — perfect! All the avatars and saints and those we deem as wise men and women have come into the world were here for for that purpose…as reminders. And perhaps that is why we are here too. To uplift one another, (and in that same moment uplift ourselves) These goodies are just tools to help you to realize the Bodhisattva in You! Click on the poster left or this link: Le Guru is You! and browse and come back again and again to enjoy some new inspirations or send one off to a friend in need!
All is Well!

A Good Read

Reading at Koloa, Bodhi Tree and Waimea 06/15,16,17/09

The mirror reveals
A very unique notebook
A cherished volume
That I have chosen to journal in
Today

Skin is the delicate parchment
Organs, bone, joint and sinew
The bindings and spine

Each cell,
Chapters.

War and Peace are but cliff notes
In comparison
Bible, Koran, Kaballah
Only echo its holiness

I need not think to
Turn the page
For the entry is already
Transcribing, recording
Jotting down every nuance
Never forgetting to
Scrawl in the margins a highlight,
An insight

And no editing is ever required
It is all there
All in perfect syntax and meter

It knows no time
To sit and scribble a few notes
For it opens and records
Through
Past, Present and future
As fluidly
As the ink
In my veins

Impossible to
Forget this book,
or leave it on my night stand
Where I think I do my best work
In those meditative states before sleep
And full awakening
Although it is there too.

I look in the mirror
As pages turn
A scar,
A tear
A wrinkle
Embeds itself on the well worn
Cover
A soft patina
A glow
That lets one know
This volume is well loved

Ancestry
Experience
Premonition
Relationships

All dancing across the pages

The bard sits in silence
A little jealous that
His eloquence
Was never able to quite capture
This in words

Sneak a peak
Read the last chapter
To see how it
All ends

What is
Found?

Just
Beginnings
