like the dawn of morning...

i was not knowing of this time of spirit 

for i was simply living life the way i do 

and it came to me like the dawn of morning 

over the mountains 

in my heart it rose like this and a sea of phenomena

with spirit was born 

the dawning of this spirit life is not anything i knew of 

before 

nor will it come again in the same way and fashion

like a playing out of spirit personalities and forms 

that talked of their lives past and where they are at 

in consciousness 

this time that came is not to be understood by mind 

for i do not understand it either 

but it is to be heard for it's message of heart 

also, it is to be heard for it's message that all is transient 

in nature and will rise to the surface and then 

vanish to be reborn again at another time 

i was simply given this gift of spirit 

for a time this way

my dears, i was simply living life the way i do

and it came to me like the dawn of morning 

over the mountains...

happy 2016

why does Milarepa have his hand to his ear?
because he can hear the whole cosmos
he can hear a pin drop
he can hear the drum beat of life
with that ear
he can hear the heavens open
he can hear the waves rush on
he can hear the sound of one hand clapping
he can hear the man and woman uniting
he can hear the heart that awakens to truth
he can hear what the mind does not know
that all is zero
and all is yet to be discovered
moment by moment

happy 2016
