letting light in

the letting in of light is within surrender
not within hoping always
it comes from opening up to what is here
and not pushing away the natural flow of things
not forcing it or
slowing it down
or putting a cover over it...
but opening up and relaxing into the breath and mantra
and pure experience...
allowing quietude to be --
simple in it's way
and yet much harder if one struggles with it...

freedom is within all and for all
to come unto
it is amazing how so many
say within
this one is higher and i am lower
and nurture this kind of thing
certainly the Guru has risen above the suffering
and this is to be honored
but never has it been said to
create an identity around anything
even seeking and being a sannyasi
becomes an identification that one attaches to
and then what has it become
something entirely different...
it is simply a stepping stone towards freedom
but all of it goes in the end...
so be free of all thoughts of this and that ..
one needs to walk the path alone
and come to this peace alone
not grasping at externals
no matter how good or bad

friends, the season of now
is upon us
not tomorrow or yesterday
it is here now
untouched as the bright dawn
and lovely spreading trees of glory
untouched as the pastures of deep green
and succulent fruit that blooms
untouched as the mountain range
steady unto itself as hearty substance
that is unchanging
untouched as shiva in it's purity
untouched as om with it's vibration
that is always here
friends, the season of now is upon us
be in it
live freely as you are made to be
come unto yourself in light and bright wonder
come unto yourself as beauty in it's true nature
and that which is not separate
be living
not dying and being reborn
this is not real
you are always life
true and pure
always
