deathless

death is non-existent in the o ne
it is a mere concept created by mind
like all other illusions
there is no such thing within a clear mind
that is free of shadow
what goes is the body
that is a mere appearance within pure awareness
this is all...
it is because you have claimed this body
as your own
that there is suffering...
ego is this way --
making claims and creating a world
that appears to a *me*
keep inquiring what is this *me*
and engage the practices when the story
arises
the shadow (ego) will be laid to rest
eventually
there is no doubt
because it is transient
it will go...
friend,
i will not say any of it is easy
it is not by any means
but please do not let any thought
desire or emotion
dissuade you or pull you away--
do not worry so much about your life and
what is to be lost there
surely it will all go in time...
this is fact
yes?
be true now
live like a one that is without this heavy other nature
be in heart
be free

beauty of the heart

beauty of the heart
you are the one that is to be set free
like a bird that is to fly when the moon is full
you are like the sparrow that lights on the branch
in the evening
and sings a heart melting song
you are the gift that is true
and the heart that is sure and steady
you are the mystery of the deepest ocean
and the glory of rich lands that go on forever
with lush green hills and pastures
and sweet smelling scents that bring
a great happiness to well within
you are the most wanted of all
and you are to be what is revealed in the
one that is steadfast in seeking
oh my how your light shines so very bright
and within perfection
so as to rinse what has been unreal away
like a bath of grace
you are within perfection
yet carry nothing that is of the nature
of other
so bounteous and within all of life
is your glory
it cannot be denied when you come forward
and find your rightful center
