The Tao

1/5/2014

Does not budge from itself
and does not defend its position

Never changes
and never appears the same

Has nowhere to go
and everywhere to be

Will not be found
and cannot be lost

Is this
and this

Rembering my worthiness

10/6/2012

0 Comments

 
Remembering my worthiness. 
Even though I feel completely unworthy, I am completely loving my feeling of complete unworthiness. 
I am completely worthy to love what I feel. 
I am devoted to bring as much grace and sweet surrender to this journey. Suffering is not necessary.
I walk these precious and healing days with an open heart and I let god do the cleansing. I am thankful now.

The only place there is in all of the universe
Is where I am.

God and all of creation intimately follows me wherever I go!
But I have to be there
To notice.

Prayer and affirmations for peace

8/5/2012

God, help me to not react and help me to not repress. 
Help me to dialogue with what arises in relationship in a clear direct and strong way - and 
In a gentle and compassionate way. 

Remind me that we are all your children. 
We are all fragile and we are all learning the same truth. 
I speak my truth like a lion and wholeheartedly seek to hear, feel and understand 
The truth of another. 

My truth is peace and clarity. 
My truth is unconditional love for myself and for another. 
My truth is the insatiable quest for the truth. 

I acknowledge my pain and my confusion and my weakness. 
I see no other as the cause of anything that arises from within me. 
I open up wider and wider and wider to hug as many emotions a day like amma does for people. 
I communicate what i feel. I feel what i communicate. For this I strive and pray. 
I offer compassion for myself and all my relations as we struggle with remembering. 
I ask for support where i cannot do this on my own. 
I open my heart to see the truth over and over again. 
I desire to rest in the truth, in the all encompassing peace of God's love. 

I start now 
By bringing peace to all that arises. 

The mountain top vistas of clarity and insight are just around the corner 
Of all the bumpy rocks and tricky edges along the journey. 

This journey of peace is the path through
The uneven sidewalks.
The unseen potholes.
The puddles that muddle my clothing.

I trust this journey so deeply and intend to keep on going! 
To keep on writing poetry, to keep on singing, to keep on pushing my edges 
Into a new places of expansion. 
To find grace in those darn potholes. 
To wash my clothing, agai
To keep on communicating, looking inside, listening, loving.
I am committed to love above all else. 
I love above all else.

These anxieties

These anxieties! I feel them, I breathe into them 
In the depths of my belly - gently and deeply.
I cradle my weakness, my confusion 
The gnawing, seemingly infinite duality of possibilities and contradictions. 

I surrender the tiring effort 
To find the solution, to know
To understand. 

I surrender my unknowing to God. 
To reveal the truth and shed the layers 
Of confusion and separation.

To do all the divine orchestration I couldn't come close
to figuring out

I am intimate with this pain and
I trust God.

To forgive

7/30/2012

To truly understand anyone or anything, including oneself, is to forgive. To have such a broad inner vision that we can trust the wholeness of the full picture while in the midst of the complex details is to be at peace. Knowing this, I forgive before understanding.

I will not stop

I will not stop this offering of emotions
To the alter of unconditional love.

Nothing wants to be stagnant.
Nothing wants to be blocked.

This e-motion beckons to flow freely,
To return to source.

Beyond the layers of protection
Love is waiting to be completely revealed.

I will love my protection 
And stop the waiting.

I worship at the alter with the holy sacraments
Of my emotion. God accepts it all.

From the archives of my soul

Here is a handful of poems I posted in 2009 on a site that I had not looked at and had forgotten about until just about a month ago! 
Picture
Where is the Presence?
In the midst of our closed hearts, in our fear, our stubbornness...
The Presence is Here. 
The presence waits with absolute certainty...
She is a piece of lint in the bathtub.

Do you see you?
I commit myself to see.

Question your loneliness
Get unresistant! You are ready. 
Now question your loneliness.
Don't believe what you never were.
Question your loneliness!

Other stuff
Reveal to me the love that transcends all this other stuff.
I'll know that it's real if I fall in love with all this other stuff.

All the real people I have ever created
In my minds eye I can see all the real people I have ever created: 
My family, friends, new acquaintances, lovers...
Some miss me, some despise me,
Some of them seem confused about me, 
Sometimes they are angry towards me, other times they are loving towards me.
Some of them are stuck in the past, just replaying their interactions with me over and over again.
Wow, all these people ever do is think about me.

Throw yourself

Throw yourself.
Write, listen, sing, dance,
Make love to any infinite aspect of this present moment creation
as it is
Right Now.
Fall into beauty.
Throw yourself into it
And leave no remnants!
