MY LONG NOSE
You and I know
There is
a Deep Loyalty
of Soul,
waiting and hidden
underneath all
our other
loyalties.
Pinocchio
told us so.

GRIEF AND GRATITUDE
GRIEF AND GRATITUDE
Grief and gratitude
will always be
very dependable
friends.
United in
their opposites,
they seamlessly
realize,
connect and
transform
past, present and future
through their
slowly refining
grist
of time,
self-discovery
and
trust in the
Mystery
of Great Mercy.
Our work
is to
embrace
the opposites,
live now,
take the next step,
honor uncertainty,
receive
and
remain awake.
THANKS
THANKS
I wish
to take a moment
to thank you,
each of you,
for what you
bring to life
all around you,
and to me
personally.
Every day
I gather something new
about
how to let go
and
how to honor
my own
astonishing
growth
through every
inescapable
diminishment.
LISTENING
LISTENING
Listen to the Wind
let it blow through
opened windows.
Listen to the Stars
let them shine
through empty darkness
from eternity.
Listen to one another
let the heart stir
hope and solidarity,
guiding us through today.
Listen to the laughter
from the graves
of those who have
graduated into
consciousness.
TWO KINDS OF WAITING
TWO KINDS OF WAITING
There are two kinds
of waiting.
There is the waiting
of the crab
mesmerized
in a pot of cold water,
unaware
of fire
beneath and
sure death ahead.
And there is waiting
in the Upper Room
where
rationality
surrenders
into
soulness.

ENERGY AND ONENESS
ENERGY AND ONENESS
Like hues
emitted from
one cosmic
rainbow,
life giving
energy patterns
sport more than
a brillion trillion
colors and maintain
the Tao of
all creativity,
emanating
from
from the core of
every
unique life form
at every stage of life.
BE STILL AND KNOW
Be still and know
…that I am God
Favorite childhood memory
where
silence and serenity
happened….
chinaball tree in back yard,
fluffy clouds,
letting my thoughts gallop with the wind,
my imagination riding on the shifting shapes in the sky,
my breathing easy, my body at rest.
NATURE’S WISDOM IN HUMAN CONSCIOUSNESS
NATURE’S WISDOM IN HUMAN CONSCIOUSNESS
Camille Flammarion, L’Atmosphere: Météorologie Populaire (Paris, 1888)
What is our
obsessive fear
of dying and death
revealing about
our perspective of
life?
Nature’s
Way
deserves our
response.
Nature’s wisdom
affirms birth
and life,
and death.
Every particle
and DNA imprint
point to the
remarkably foreseeable
cycles of
birth and death.
Let us cure cancer.
Let us cure
whatever kills us;
let us extend the
perimeters of
physical life
and see what we
come up with.
Whatever we do
to avoid the
inevitability of
impermanence,
whatever we accomplish
to extend ourselves
beyond the natural
course of Nature,
will reap
the best and worst
that we can imagine.
While we live longer,
we may at the same time
create demands beyond
our present
capacity
to sustain the balance.
IT’S A VERY GOOD SATURDAY
IT’S A VERY GOOD SATURDAY
Today
is
a most necessary
and
noble day.
It is so much more
than a day
before Easter.
Don’t miss out
on the depth of
its significance.
