last evening before sleep a vision appeared
of a garden with blue flowers
the hibiscus were blue, large and grew in abundance
there was a bench where one could sit amongst the
lovely creation of wonder that mother nature provides
so gloriously
there, within this garden, that was filled with
different flowers and greens and earth
sweet with rich nourishment
arose a small plastic bubble that floated in
the air
within this bubble, a butterfly fluttered with wings of
various shades of blue
that were patterned in fine blacks as well
and all the touches of light that shine within these creatures
that capture our hearts so
majestic it was (this butterfly), but held within captivity
and then the bubble that held it, broke open and it
flew out within the freedom of the air
it flew as if it had found itself finally and could allow
that which it was inherently to live truly without containers
or borders or boundaries and all the things that are structured
as ways to keep light from truly flowing out fully and freely
and then, many plastic bubbles arose floating in the air
then these containers opened up too and the butterflies flew in the garden
and travelled beyond it as well
into the sky
into the space
and dissolved as light
so here is one of the visions that came to this mind's eye
as they come more and then less
and come whenever
but are not so all consuming still
this is the journey here i
am still within sadhana very much
and there is still slowing and gaps to mind
there is an all consuming light and stillness
there is still mind risings and physical phenomena clearing
and circling about
but i am not pulling back from this desire to go on
and leave the mind to fall completely
i know oh love
that it feels to you so long when i speak
it is long indeed this journey
that abounds to open to those sincere ones
it is indeed a path of mysterious play that leaves one
without covers or concealments or anything to cling to that
will save one except surrender, faith and trust in the heart
that is God or pure consciousness
there the mind can relax and leave the rest to be handled by
the pure intelligent source
this is what takes place off and on
and there is also a way that this path wears down the separate persona
but one must see the conditionings that cause the effect of maya and all that works there
so strange and confusing when one is lost within it
and not get pulled into that and lost there
for there, nothing that is of lasting value can find itself to be as it is
and shine for all humanity to feel
as this is the main thing oh seeker and one that is devoted to light
whether you are truly walking a path or simply living life
you must know that there is nothing that is different than your own heart
every face you meet on your journey is nothing but one self
everything is this beauty only
for we cannot be something other than this
forever
forever
only this light
