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...

forever free...

time dances in the wind
and dissolves in the heart
when the mind awakens
shadow rises no more
and seeing is made clear
light shines bright
reflecting appearance in awareness
yet no one is there to capture
anything
only stillness reigns
this is the way that one is meant to be
the Lord of yourself
not like a slave to mental wandering
tethered on a rope
to the rising and sinking tides
of mind
you are so much more than this
love,
you are truly forever free
and so over the mind
with its shades of unrest
so will you come to these waters of purity
and drown in the sea of life
that carries no suffering within it?
oh my friend,
i have not cast you out of my heart
i have lived to see you well
and to see you dance freely in joy
and not sit away from what is real
my heart has rejoiced
at your chance to be free
and my singing has called you
to go on...
i love you so inside always
as the SELF that is precious and true
if you could be in the way of hearing
and following your beauty
then i will be so trusting of your
steady steps
and rejoice in happiness
at your coming
i can see you here
where you are meant to be
because i know you not as
a body and mind
but one that is so very pure
and whole
i am to see you here, yes!
and know that you are in the heart
like a one that has come thru the waves
and set things right
like a warrior of freedom
and a flower of beauty

i am *here* friend
come now and *see*

be well always

om shanti

Merry Christ-mas to all...

The birth of Christ is the coming of truth

that shines like a beacon

on a dark night 

it is a precious offering to behold

as the showing up of a most glorious 

being in the nature of truth and beauty

that has come to speak of the way back 

to the heart of peace

what Christ spoke of was not to go into 

thoughts about life and philosophies

but to be in the moment 

wiped clean of all imaginings that carry

one elsewhere

his message is one of perfect love

and does not give way to that which 

brings sorrow...

what a joyous occasion that this being

opened the way for those hearts that are

willing and desirous of *seeing* what is true

what a joyous time to be a participant of such grace

and to have the path carved out so well

so as to walk it clear of obstacles 

it is said that Christ was the master of 

beauty --

a beauty that is within and absolutely well -

a beauty that is *living* and never dies

a beauty that no shadow can ever touch

this is what is written in his words that 

spoke so richly of all being

set *right*

when one surrenders fully to grace

and lets go of unproductive ways...

his being is like a king that came 

that was not at all driven or touched

by desires or externals..

he was like a beautiful bird that lights

on the branches for all that came near

he was not lacking in a clear, strong voice

that spoke of misdeeds and misunderstandings

that were not good or well --

this is the compassion and love that is within

a o ne that has stilled the thoughts

and has nothing driving...

only what remains is love and light

and is what is to bring those to 

the heart where there is no more 

suffering --

and no more walking away from the 

light

which is eternal

May all rejoice this Christmas

and be within the heart

in love and gratitude

for what is here 

and for the light 

that shows the way...

Let freedom ring...

Maha Shanti Om

keep your hand to the plow...

i couldn't find a better
way than this (path)
too many have come and
rode the tides to freedom
but have not stayed
on the right course
so many have fallen back
that is so very
much a shame
i loved those ones as
i do myself and hoped
for them to be true
but they have not found
the right time yet
to come

it is not the right thing
to come and go back
as the shadows try to come
back in so rapidly
i wish i could speak differently
of this
but i know because i have
been there
and sat in the shade of mind
only to be driven so
terribly in thought
that i was about to break
when the dark was so unleashed
that i could not see clear
then a light shone
that was not of the *me*
but it was truth
stepping in as Guru
and this love and compassion
melted the shadow like
a bad dream one
awoke from
and then i was shaken
back to sanity
like a tired near dead
old lady that just drank
an elixir
friends of the heart
and path
i am not lying
i am for sure true in my
writing and would
never lead you astray

be true on your road
and take the one that is fitting
to your heart
do not step on a path
that is the high cliffs
that are meant for the ones
walking the straight line
until you are ready
then keep going
and do not turn around
this is what is written
in the bible
keep your hand to the plow
dear wandering souls
or else the pillar of salt
is the next thing
and my dears no
this is not what you want

i now live as the o ne
so often in heart and mind
steady as the call of
the day in its brightness
i am so happy for those souls
that walk in light
and so wanting those that
are in the world
to lose the hold there
but all in its own time

dear wanderer
be well....

Is it not amazing

Christ laid down the law

like a crusader of truth

and what was lurking as unreal

fled

is it not an amazing thing that his light

shed beauty on a land that was hidden in darkness

is it not amazing that lost souls came and drank from the pure waters

but did not always follow his law like it was laid down

so this is why the bible is not understood

there is so much beauty there if one reads with the right heart

what is said in the pages of the bible is the law of truth

and what is to be followed without mixing in

your own truth or version of it

if this is done, the words do not ring as real

and cannot live what they are meant to be

is it not amazing that Christ came as a wanderer

of the earth

and shorn the fields of mind clean with his mighty

tongue that spoke only grace

is it not amazing how the seeds he scattered grew only purity

and the hands he held were only his fathers which was found to be

non-different than him

isn't it amazing that Christ pierced through the net 

of the false 

with his sharp sword of knowledge

and beat down all that threatened the land of glory

which is peace

isn't it amazing that Christ loved himself as he truly was

without clothes and name or face

this is how he loves you too

and sees you this way

Isn't it amazing how the words of Christ are the same as all

the sages and Gurus

they are here to clear the land of shadow

and not to play 

in your world

they love you like the light you are 

and want you to be happy

isn't it amazing

Mother love

Mother rains her glory
on the earth
as if she never lived apart
she rides on the winds
and curses the dark beings
she breathes fire from her lungs
and destroys the shadows
she reins in the predators
puts them to rest

She loves the one that
does not run from her
she loves the one that
dances in her
because this is the one
that she can make her own

The only Love

Come
be the only love
this is what you were meant to be
and is not what you think

It is not an ego booster
or a prop to stand on
it is you
in your true being
free of the false
in the wonder of creation

Guru of my heart

You loved me well

dear Guru

dear Guru of my heart
when i was caught in the net of the false

you came and pulled me away

you pointed out another shore in which to sail 

my boat

you pulled me out of rough waters when i was stuck

you washed the sorrow of separation from my soul

you blessed me with your wisdom

that came from the path of your suffering

you gave me the pointings and then left me to live

my life

you followed me back when i ran away

you brought me back to the land of the living

where brightness shines again

and non-dual consciousness can flourish

when i had forgotten my true nature

you came

and when you stepped in

this glorious truth was revealed again

because of your presence

it shined again

you loved me well dear Guru

more than my mother

and father

more than any friend or companion

because you lit the light of truth in my heart

This is why 

you have loved me well
