a deeper reality..

though it takes great efforts
to continually rein the mind in
it is the only way to begin to open to truth
which will bring experiences that speak to a deeper reality
and put an end to the movement eventually
the other choice is to of course
continue to immerse in mundane mind
and all that comes with that
there is always a choice..

one heart

one heart

one love 

one beautiful bright moon in the sky

the same 

whether here or there...

day break

weary wanderer

day break is drawing nigh

the boat of your journey is coming into shore 

where the land sings of beauty and peace

it is on the horizon now

not far from your vision

there waiting as a sturdy ground of being

in which the tree of knowledge lives 

with its roots strong in the earth 

and the tiger of sense objects roams no more

where the non-dual jewel sits still

shining wondrous sparkling on the 

clear water

the lotus blooms in its fullness here

the fragrance floats across the seas

follow it friend 

no matter how rough the waters get

or how inviting the whirlpools of thought are 

keep following this current of grace 

it will pull you in

to the heart of yourself

where you will be lost to this light

for all eternity

the living o ne

brother,

have you seen the living o ne? 

it rises in the dawn as a blaze of color 

and sets itself on the waters to dance in joy

it sparkles in the night sky in starlight 

and prances in the hills on the footsteps

of the glorious creatures

it grows in the hearty trees that spread their 

branches far and wide 

to give shade to the weary journeyers 

it cries with the gull that flies over the oceans

and sings with the bird

in its luscious song by moonlight 

it sits in the mountains majestic and steady 

and races in the rivers that resound of fresh life 

it climbs to the heavens with the rising sun 

and journeys across the sky with the moon rise

it haunts the dream with its grace and beauty

it finds itself always here 

not apart ever...

have you felt it in your soul as a strong presence 

this living o ne ?

it is here within

have you felt it?

not here or there

Saints, Masters, Gurus, Buddhas
from where have you come?
from where do you return?
not here or there are you found
as you are not a mental concept
but living as all
within stillness
that never dies

always whole

nothing mends the brokenness
as nothing was ever broken
it takes mind to die in
the depths of the well of wisdom
to know the truth
that you have always been whole

roaming free..

graceful shepherd 

you are a mystery

that guides in your restful way

that has no motive or desire within

the night is what you are
and the bright day too

as you roam as free as life in its 

natural state 

you call to the mountains as a friend of 

yourself 

and the beautiful pastures are in your

heart too

not separate 

you meet the dawn and the moonlight 

as your own being 

not different
or away from yourself ever

you have no enemies

or cross to bear

you pass none and have judgement

you are simple

without complexity

of intellect

what a beautiful spirit
roaming
forever free

om

grace

craving, desires

make for unpleasant water

that tastes not of peace

so the seeker of truth

does not resist these passions

but ignores them

and reaches within for the sword of wisdom

that has been brought forth

from Guru's compassion

reciting the mantra

infused with grace 

thought has no chance 

and will eventually vanish

as if it never was 

what then is revealed 

light 

that which lives as the same 

heart of Guru

non-dual

not two

not two

om shanti

awaken

sweet sound that rises and falls
in the quiet
that never changes


the birth is the shadow
the death that which is not real
the knowing that awakens
to truth
changeless
deathless
unborn


what is there to look for
except to extinguish this mind
that speaks of another nature
then the truth
can shine
boundless
unobstructed
free

the absolute

i have no enemies 

or a world to come and go within

i have no birth or death

i have no name

no pride 

no shame 

no lust 

i have no family 

no burden to bear

no cross to carry

or mixed emotions 

i have no home to go to 

or leave

i have no shelter 

and nothing to protect

i have no call to hear
no haunting within

no shifting sands

or moving tides

i have no gates to walk thru

or doors to lock

i have no fear

i have no misperception

i have no coming 

i have no going
i have no living 

i have no death

i have not risen

i have not fallen away

i am o ne always
free 

complete 

still

full
timeless
perfect peace

shanti

an adventure

if you make the day an adventure into 

greater depths of the soul

then you have spent your time well

no matter what you are doing

no better time...

when will you be a light
unto yourself
set free of burdensome thoughts
that rest on the surface of your soul
when will you come to know
the joy of your very heart
love
no better time
than now..

beauty and peace

souls that cry not of sorrow

but rejoice in the nature of o ne 

are the ones that will be set free

to live a life of beauty and peace

for this is what the heart is made of 

beauty and peace

which one?

friend,
have you heard the song
that men and women alike seek out?...
the never ending joy of the heart?
the true seeker hears it and follows
to the wellspring of wisdom
and drowns within it
never to be born again as shadow
the lover  (of the world) hears it and
finds the other
to live there and by doing so
dies a death that will find itself again
in the waters of the dual....
so which one friend of the heart sounds best?..
you choose...

leave it alone

mind is not solid like you think
nor is this form
it is ever changing
dying
shedding and being reborn
so what
leave it alone
the constant still awaits
to be discovered
this is what matters
not the transient energies
for they have no substance
stick with the moment at hand
and leave the rest alone

the elixir

wellspring of life
the living waters have come
to bring fresh flowering to the soul
that has been parched within worldly ways
the offering is one of joy that has no desire within
but only exists as freedom
for the seeker there is nothing better
than to imbibe in this beauty of grace
that lives
it tastes only of the non-dual and harmless heart
it has no name or face
but is what your soul is made of
in the depths
under the cover of externals
bring forward this refreshment to your lips
and in your heart it will enter
to rinse away the creative force of maya
that stings the being with duality
here is the elixir blessed soul
the truth
may it sink in deep and well
to make of your mind one that is moved
towards the good
and make of your being a mighty presence
that speaks words of love, light and joy
that are real
and unwavering
as the oceans and hearty forests
bursting with life rich and lush
flooding the spirit with light
resonating as om
and deep peace
that is undying
0

ordinary consciousness

for the ones that rest within
non-dual consciousness

the light is what is normal

not anything extraordinary

not anything different than anything else 

or separate from anything 

how high up 

or low down can this be

it cannot 

for there is nothing else but this o ne 

world dissolves..

trembling dew drop

the world rests on the leaf like this
unstable always 

to be blown with the wind 

and dissolve with the sun

in the time of awakening

book of the heart

the book of the heart 

has within it poetry of light 

that rings of beauty beyond compare 

and awesome peace in which there is no end

the writing is not of the world in which 

the focus is on relationship and dramatic playing out

the focus is the pure soul 

the non-dual in which there arises nothing to occlude 

clarity...

the book of the heart does not dwell outside 

but within where life is joy

and has never been separate or apart in worldly ways

poetry flowing of silent beauty
and grace steady and unwavering
as the masters words that come on the breath
of clear waters
and deep compassion
that will strip the false away
to make the original substance shine through
so rich within the soul

that the one that listens melts and never is reborn

as a being that suffers again

this is the great wisdom

of the saints, sages and masters of now 

take it up dear soul 

and wear it within like a trusted friend 

that will set you on the majestic mountains 

in the land of the living 

and bring you to the homeland of o ne 

never to make your way outward again

in seas that are unsettled...

a promise ..

Christ put the truth into action
he did not sit like souls
that talk without substance
behind the words
he met none that could
bring him away from the real
as this cannot be
when mind has fallen
never to rise again
he had no enemies within
though outwardly he was put to death
by misguided hands and minds
he did not carry a grudge
or seek revenge
nor did he carry the burden of sorrow
he rose up as spirit
deathless
a messiah
to the ones seeking a way out of the dark
he loved the living beauty
as himself
and watered seeds of knowledge
with his words
that rang of peace and freedom
he was a mystic
and a realized being
a promise to those seekers
that are true
that light will be victorious
and will be what is uncovered
if one remains steady

flowering life...

serpent kundalini

mother 

thou has opened the river that cleans

the dust 

from the heart and head

thou has brought fresh flowering of life 

to the dry earth bed 

and sown joy 

from tears 

thou has made of the dark

a light so real

and broad 

as to swallow the unrest that rose

of its own

thou has breathed fire of burning heat

into the consciousness where me and mine sat

like a haunting energy
so as to destroy this rising

and blew shimmering vibration 

of om and deep mercy
into the heart

so strong 

mother of truth

thy will is what remains 

for this power will rise victorious always

it lives in all

and does not settle for the small ray ego

to be at the center

thou lives as the sea

and open meadows of pure glory

so free in itself 

so free...

true happiness

knowledge is complete in itself

does not seek

or want 

it rests as pure silence and peace 

that is not touched by worldly happenings 

this is the atman

the o ne self of all

to come within it is the most glorious 

as that which you *thought* brought happiness 

will fall empty

what will be seen is that true happiness

is not personal and cannot be found outside

but is inherent within the pure self

it is what is revealed when mental waves die 

never to be reborn again

dawn of knowledge

the dawning of knowledge is the present

the gift of life 

that has no burden of other within it 

no thoughts or tiresome push and pull

of mental waves

this is not a thing to be gained 

it cannot be added to

or taken away from

it is complete as it is 

when this wayward energy ego dies ..

the light dawns..

make efforts..

mind is the tornado

the calm ocean lay underneath

the movement

the crystal clear waters are not touched 

by the passing waves that rise 

from thought 

the crystal clear waters stay pristine 

always 

try friends 

make efforts to know this purity

for there is nothing so valuable 

as that which never dies 

and brings great peace 

and clarity

try friends 

make efforts 

to know yourself 

there will be nothing lost 

but the suffering 

nowhere to hide

no*body* knows the truth 

there are none that come into it 

as a name and face 

the ones that know are gone to the light 

the person melts into the ocean 

like a little wave that never was ...

the ones that say there is liberation 

as well as a person within that is more free 

this is not true 

these ones speak to oneness or something other

than what is real

they are still caught in intellect 

and philosophy about truth

and want to convince themselves that they 

can have their cake and eat it too..

that they are the special one that does not 

have to walk the hard walk 

and die the death that brings eternal life

well they may be able to fool some people about this 

but the universe cannot be fooled 

and sooner or later 

there will be another great challenge

and another playing out in which they cannot 

hide so easily for suffering is so great

it is here that there is a chance to really move forward 

as the defense tactics are not working anymore 

which makes it harder to run away 

many need to get to this point 

become so exhausted within

before surrender truly begins to take hold 

maha shanti om

simple is the way

simple is what makes the light come forward 

simple is what sends shadow away

simple does not cover over with stories 

it sees without complexity of mind 

not like a one in intellect 

simple is the right way 

to the heart

heart jewel

heart jewel

time has never changed you or sent you away

this cannot be ever

because you are the living breathing om

the coming of the joyful waters 

the prince of peace 

heart jewel

you are the priceless being

the self 

you are never away...

two steps ahead..

 

the light friend has all that is needed to *be*

inherent within it is joy, love and peace

as well as pure intelligence..

it is always two steps ahead of mind in seeing what is 

to be seen...

mind lags behind and only sees partially, if at all..

dear heart 

all that is needed is within the light...

spontaneous

the bright being

is never ending peace 

this is what you are too 

if you can rest in the heart

you will see what is meant

by seeing without seeing 

and hearing without hearing 

then what takes place is spontaneous 

as the bird flies 

the crow caws 

the ant crawls

the seed blooms 

all takes place without mental input from anywhere ..

can you see this?

seekers prayer..

dear lord of all,
make me not sink into the dark...
for i have not lived as a saint or a mindful one
though i attempt it
i fail
i have died so many times and been reborn
and have been swept away into lands of fantasy and grasping
i have not wanted to go like this
but cannot find my moorings in this mind that roams
can i sit here dear light in the shining heart
and move not away from myself as truth
as i have journeyed so very far
and not yet tasted the ripe fruit
i have been caught in pressing desires within
and shifted away from the moment
blessed light
reveal the truth here inside as i am so weary
reveal the living waters of my heart that shines as a prince of peace,
undivided pure consciousness
and joy that is living
shine within and dissolve the seeds of sorrow,
clear these eyes of misperception
melt the feeling of separation
direct this mind towards the good and freedom
everlasting...
seal this heart to thine ..
so there is only stillness
joy and peace
shanti mind
0

life revealed

seeds of mind
bloom when watered and given attention
the o ne needs no water
or anything at all
it lives always
as pure perfection, light and joy
for this light to be revealed
mind is to be given no nourishment
and allowed to die away...
then that which has always been
can reign
as existence, consciousness and bliss

undying

i have been to the hell realms and sunk in there
untouched by the shadow
and risen to heaven
untouched there as well
as nothing can be there that is true or living
what lives is this ever present peace that is undying
and has no relation to shifting sands
or polar winds
of this or that

all that remains

without the beauty of the absolute

there would be no life 

or anything that could be called true

the absolute is what reveals all 

and is within all

as one undivided presence 

and as one God of all

if you are even a little bit open 

then the heart can begin to move thru

and make itself a light to melt away the shade

this is what the sages call awakening to yourself

it is like the unfolding petals of a lotus

that opens when the sun hits 

what is revealed inside is truth without name or face 

a living beingness 

not a thing that passes 

or lives for a moment like thought 

a truth that is constant

as shankara says, the light is the revealing 

of the rope that was once deemed to be a snake 

this is what it is to be awake 

and he did not pass his days in idle chatter and thought 

he lived a short life 

and in this brief period truly moved mountains in terms 

of reforming advaita vedanta 

bringing this wisdom back to its true roots

he carried no baggage whatsoever 

he knew 100% he was not the body or mind ..

he was beyond birth and death..  

in this way he roamed the earth bringing fresh waters

and powerful pointings that directed the soul always within

this is the way of the ones that are within stillness

it is impossible not to speak truth 

as this is all that remains...

the highest..

showman of the world that claim to be lights

are up on stage to be entertainers and gain affections

of the people 

they are not here to bring truth or break down the walls

of ego 

they have within them little in the way of true wisdom

and are not set steady in the absolute 

as many have no idea what it is to let go of suffering 

and die the death that brings eternal life 

they plant seeds of confusion for the seekers as the words

spoken do not flow from stillness

but from ego based understandings and philosophies

this is a very harmful thing to put out to the universe

this idea of oneness being freedom, engenders a false 

notion of liberation 

and is taken in by those that are too unsteady to go forward

into the light in full

so these ones take up *ideas* and *notions* of freedom

as this feels much safer

but in the end it is another prison that confines the mind to 

a particular pattern of thinking
that lays yet another cover on reality

another separation, another barrier 

that most will guard with vengeance out of fear of

opening to the real 

which will wash this type of clinging away

the mind can be its own worst enemy so easily

and many times these ones have had no deeper experiences

so do not know the difference 

or they are unwilling to let go of the spiritual status
they feel they have reached 

and will fight with all they have to maintain it 

conversely, the mind can be made into a tool for the absolute 

channeled in the direction of peace, joy and light 

and eventually dissolved into everlasting purity

the true Guru is here to give the hard hitting pointers 

that will strike the illusion

and lay it bare so ever present stillness can be revealed 

these ones are not here to be on stage or play mind games

these ones stick to reality always and are not swayed by emotions 

and personal stories of the seekers 

what is given is what is in the best interest of the student to wake this one 

up to reality

what is given can be strong and powerful

or gentle in nature

whatever is needed 

this type of wisdom flows from the source directly

without stain of mental thought or plan

without motive or thoughts of what is to be gained or lost

these concepts do not arise in a still mind

so the pointings given are of the highest 

insight

insight is within duality

it is not the light itself

but a reflection of it

it comes out of thought and understanding

it can indeed be beautiful as it comes 

on like a flash of light 

but it is not the real

as the real is the direct perception of truth

minus mental understanding and imagery

the real is the lamp that shines up insight 

it does not come to a me

what can be said friends

but do not be smitten by the jewels that may come forward

in terms of understanding

because as you see this understanding dissolves away

comes and goes like all else...

find the constant within these passing phases

this is the crux of seeking
to find that which has never been born
and never dies...   

beyond mind

when mind falls

it matters not what one is called

as the being is out of suffering and within stillness

whether there are stones thrown

or flowers laid at the feet 

will not change the unchangeable

that is not at all affected by outer happenings 

how are things in your world..

can you tell me of your world?

does it sing of flowing pure waters

and sweet mother of the universe? 

or is it a quick rushing stream of thought and grasping?

what is it friend and how are you? 

i have wanted to know you as your free self

not as a one that is hidden in a world of misgivings

i have wanted to know you as a one of joy, love and light 

as a peaceful presence that seeks no other to be whole

i have not been away from here or set out to find you

for you are here as i am 

free and in yourself as a precious light of all

you are a never ending pure life flow 

this is the way of all that are living 

can you find me here as i am? 

not away from life 

but as a bird of night that flies free over the world of unrest

as a mighty torrent of clean water that runs unencumbered and joyful

can you find me here friend of the heart?

as i am what you are 

existence, consciousness and bliss

no-one at all

full and complete

here ...

maha shanti om 

unburdened

in the time when sages were plentiful
and buddhas roamed about in the beautiful forests
there lived a bright sage by the name of sadhil
he was a light to all in the community
he spoke rich words that set hearts to rest and minds to be quiet
he lived what was real and did not carry a burden on his back
that weighed heavy and brought his stature down
he was a comely lad
and when he spoke his hands moved fluidly as the trees
that swayed in the breeze
one day sadhil came upon some travelers
these travelers were going to a land called shadow
sadhil asked them why they would want to go there
they said that this was the way to their home
sadhil said there is another land called light
where one can live freely without any baggage or collected
false notions of mind
where there is deep abiding peace
that is beyond birth and death
the travelers looked at him aghast and said what does this
have to do with anything
we are accustom to going this way and our home is there
why would we want to go to this land of light that you speak of
we know nothing about it and are not equipped to travel elsewhere
sadhil looked at their packs on their backs and heavy carriages and said
you look very heavily laden with baggage to travel to this land of yours
called shadow
why not leave these things and come to the light
the travelers were dumbstruck by this ...
leave our burden? how could we do this
as this is all we own
how can we discard these things just at a whim and go with you elsewhere
what complete nonsense
this is our lives that we carry with us, and we will keep all of this safe in our home
in the land of shadow
well, said sadhil, you can keep all your baggage if you like and be on your usual way
following your usual route
but i am speaking of a peaceful land that is distinctly different than shadow
where mind will be liberated from suffering eternally..
you are a crazy man said one of the travelers ...
we have never heard of such a place ever and we need to be moving on to take
care of our responsibilities ...
you are speaking in a way that is so very unfamiliar and foreign
we cannot grasp it in the least...
it is true said sadhil, that you cannot grasp what is being said because you have only
experienced shadow
again, the travelers shook their heads in disbelief ...
one of the travelers said, we are going now and do not have any more time to listen
to these words that are very strange ...
please sir, excuse us ...
and the party burdened so greatly, went their way onward to the land of shadow
and sadhil, went his way unburdened and at peace ...
what was to come into his path next was not known and did not matter..
his mind was absorbed in the light always ...
and so he walked onward into the unfolding wonder that is ...


om shanti...

one breath..

has time taught you well?

or are you still wrestling with the tides 

and calling out to the o ne? 

have you sat in the sun at all?

or nested in the heart as a beautiful glow?

the dark is the making of unrest my friend

the evening is not to catch you sleeping 

for you are to arouse yourself to be awake

can you see this message and heed it without

setting it up as a bit of logic to be tossed around in mind?

ten thousand lifetimes have been lived this way
and this mind is oh so familiar, yes?

but one breath can begin an inward journey 

or continue the soul to transmigrate outward 

time is of the essence sturdy seeker

you have not yet set aside the ways of the world for good
(which means quietening the mind)...

because if you had, then you would not need any words to read

or desire to be something else

all would be at rest in its essence as the o ne undivided consciousness

all would be zero

not a thing that is made up by thought

have you heard this my dear?

do not say anything, but sit here and soak in 

the light that is not anything different than your very being 

you are so much more 

and so much less at the same time

here you are so free

may it be revealed 

as your time will come
when you are to walk into the 

depths of the sea of knowledge

not to come up again for air in the world that haunts

you are a bright one friend

it is known

live well and be yourself this time 

blessed evening and om

spirit is paramount

the pharisees were against Christ
they did not want his light to be set free and roam
the earth to make others minds and hearts turn towards the good
because if there were change like this then
their world of power and prestige would be upset
this was not acceptable to them
that a man with simple clothes, bearing no weapons of any sort,
only coming with a pure presence
and speaking hauntingly beautiful pure words of truth and freedom
that struck the heart with such grace and potency
could be honored by the people..
was outrageous to a mind saturated in power
and heavy with ego driven ways...
the people of the earth that came to behold Christ's light were
open at first, but heavy with doubt and fear as the word spread
that he was of the dark and would change things for the worst..
inside themselves there was no steadiness to think and feel what was true
and to hold to it no matter the cost..
these ones let fear take over
feeling that something of their well guarded world would be lost
or taken away...  yet all in the transient world is going
no matter how strongly guarded
as Christ personified so beautifully that rising beyond body
and mind is what is paramount and what is to be nourished and regarded
as the most high above everything else
as spirit is that which *lives* eternally...
the rest is decay and shadow...
and not to be cherished within
and attached to...


Christ is such an awesome example of love, courage and light
may this light be revealed within the sincere wanderers
that have within the heart now an ember that is glowing
and will grow high
like a mighty fire, to set the dark to run away...
and never return to this world

precious lights continue forward
in love and blessings...
om shanti

mother...

though mother is a precious gift to all, she cannot set free that
which does not want to give up the burden
she can only save those that want to save themselves
what a thing to finally *get*
what a thing to finally be revealed ...
the powerful one that is mother
can only right the wrongs that are let go of ...
for all have a right to hold to suffering if that is the choice
mother cannot free a heart that is not surrendered...

night is calling

this night sits so rich as a precious gift

and the day arises with a new possibility
beloved seeker, say rightly that you are a free bird in the sky

to spread forth your wings and rise high

as the night will not take you up in its arms

you must use those wings dear child
and fly away from the call of mind

the glowing moon is beckoning come hither 

be a bright star to me this evening

we two can sing as one in heavens blanket of glory

and not come under the spell of the world

we two can be like the most high above the play

and passing show as two waves that have washed together 

so as not be felt as distinct and separate

then the troubles of the world are like a false making

that never really happened

rise friend, become yourself now

for night is calling ...

more on Kali

kali is the shining one

she casts out sin

she dispels darkness

she haunts the dream

she makes of the night a bright new birth

she lives in all

she lets nothing sting her as a dark predator

she puts the scent of her joy inside the seeker

she lets this one follow her to paradise

she severs the knots of worldly bonds

she creates a world and then destroys it 

she moves the night and brings forth the day

she shrinks the energy of shadow 

and pries open the mind that has been enclosed

she is a mother 

and a friend 

as well as a great deceiver and a demon

she is all and none 

kali is the seas, the rivers and the flowing waters 

she flows as beauty and stilled powerful presence 

and will never let the energies of dark rest until 

each and every speck is captured and put down 

never to haunt again 

not ever...

choose one

if the light is to be secondary then there is no way

to be free 

there is only a playing about with the path

and an uncertainty about life and the direction

to be walked

when one is pulled in two directions like this 

then there will be no peace ever

friend, choose one 

and sink into it well and deep

if it is the world, be there as a one that loves life

if it is the path, walk it with steady focus

not being pushed about by the call of other desires 

for this will aide so much in forward motion

and lasting progress..

buddha pear

this guy on Facebook got *bent out of shape*
because i posted a picture of a pear
that was molded into the shape of a buddha
and grew on the tree this way... very charming...
but this man did not think so..
he had all sorts of things to say about it ..
that it was now deformed and misshapen
and carried negative energy due to this process..
he would never eat such a thing as the fruit had been *encaged*
and this was so very wrong...
really this mans mental attitudes and projections were what was misshapen...
as he was the one *bent out of shape*, not the pear...
this is what takes place when the mind is so very occluded with drama
and projections about the way things should or should not be
as this was simply a very innocent picture of a pear
and was not related in the least to all the stories this man created about it ..
due to all his drama that was thrown out...
the beauty and simplicity of the appearance was completely lost to him..
overshadowed by complexity...
this is seen so much how one image or word can throw
the mind into a tailspin that creates this and that ...
me and mine ...  right and wrong ....
so very deceptive and powerful...
it is so very, very important to not get caught up in this kind of thing
and if it does arise to recognize it ...
go back to the balanced breath and practices...
stay grounded in the wisdom of Guru
let it go and move forward...

may all be well...

om

be still

the shadow energy is not real friends

please do not be enchanted with it 

it will soon be gone one day

if you give it no energy

really, this is the way it is 

be still

and live

undying presence

sight is of the heart truly

the eyes are just instruments that 

are empty and inert

why is this said?

because the body has no true life of its own

and cannot exist as separate 

it depends on another force to animate it 

it does not have anything in it that is complete

what gives it life?

the light that eternally shines as the lord

what sets it to move, rest, sing

and dance

the light of the lord only

this light shines as a pure luminous undying 

presence that lives always

energy and light

as kali lives as the mother of all

she also lives as the great deluder 

she will cover the light if the soul 

objectifies the world

then this one loses rightful seeing 

and clarity of mind 

this obscuring of light is not a true reality

it is a dream that appears to be in form or

different aspects

like an original light that breaks up 

into many spectrums of color that

vary in intensity and hue

this is all that creation is ...

varying forms of energy and light..

only one

peaceful souls see no difference in themselves

as compared to any other 

there is not this putting high up and 

taking down low

there is only one and this one 

is equal in all hearts

Shiva's crescent moon

in Shiva's crescent moon
there lived a maiden so fair
as to set the earth to blush with
bright petals of morning rose
and burnt ember
the maiden therein dwelt in happiness
for her lord was in her heart
and graced her presence with light
the sea rose to her in stillness
and inspired her to dance in life
and live free without
form, pride or worldly bonds
and she danced alone
in the moon that was set
in the golden locked perfect head of Shiva
she bent down
to drink the pure flowing waters
and lifted up as a bright star
of light and love
that shines as a beacon
for wandering ones
that are to make it inside the glory
of Shiva's heart
