the taste of spirit


i need to say that you have been far 
too long in the enclosure of mind 
and you are listening to that message 
but that is like a dream that tastes 
bitter in the end 
because you are so used to this taste of 
mental happenings 
you go back there for more 
my dear in this going back, you miss
the taste of spirit 
so unburdened in it's flavor that it is 
missed by your tongue 
it tastes completely different from mind 
it is like a honey flavor, scented with 
heart 
it saturates the mind, senses and every 
body part with light 
it saturates the action with grace so 
that movement is spontaneous 
and not of *doing* or *calculating*
it saturates the vision with non-dual beauty 
and rich feeling that all is well and complete 
it does not taste like mind, thoughts, projections, 
activity of ego which is flavorless truly 
in comparison 
as if you might see a picture of a beautiful
sunset in a book 
and then to see those lively colors against the sky
heaven feeling and ethereal with silhouettes of clouds
of different hues and light breaking through the whole 
thing 
so very much filled with the *flavor* of life true 

if you are still
you can feel all of nature in you 
the oceans and the seas and the mist rising 
you can feel the rains pure and refreshing
you can feel the earth with it's nutrition and 
bedding made for the seedlings to rise up
you can feel the blossom that flowers on the branch
and brings such beautiful color of such varieties 
and offerings 
you can feel the mountains with ice and snow and cooling 
energy therein
you can feel the colorful leaves in autumn
and the crisp coming of wind and rains 
and winter with life that lays dormant, sitting, waiting 
for it's time to blossom
oh souls, can you feel it in you?
it is in your blood and your heart 
because you are made the same as all
can you feel it in you right now?

the sun has risen this evening 
though the night is dark 
it has risen up like a light so full and 
with light extending outward 
it cannot go to sleep, the sun 
it loves the moon always and finds it's alignment
there and with the earth 
in different ways and different dances it works 
together, harmonious with the planets 
and the stars too
they align like a beautiful dance that sends different 
energies to the earth 
and brings messages of different astrologies that are like 
the various personalities for the soul,
various energetic patterns of the soul 
like all things that are earthly/ethereal and of life 
there are various different energetic patterns that 
play out to form a specific presence
or a life-form 
but inside where it is dark and pure and real and 
perfect, there lives a nature that is pattern-less
it is the origin of all the playing out in the universe 
it is shed of patterns, colors and happenings 
it is not touched by anything ever 
it is like a heart in it's original nature 
it is like God in it's primal nature 
it is like kali in her primal nature 
it is like Shiva as he is 
sinless 
unborn 
kept pure always

    1. Namaste, it is very true, that we keep on going back to the dream all the time. There is a silent presence that is felt, with light and resting and with ease. But I go back and forth in between of those 2. Keep hoping to drop the dead weight. And stay focused. Omm. Thank you for the writing.
