I feel the calm rising
The crashing waves ebb
I see the essence of us in the moon lite clouds
The old fears and passions slowly fade
They were set on my ending in defeat
I no longer chart this course
I see a bright dawn

Serendipity
We are they
Who achieve
By not doing
Yet things are done
Happy are they
Who know the Sun

The Dancing Blue Girl
I had a blue dream
I saw a flowing blue river
Lapping on the shores of my doubt
I lept into the rushing waters
Leaving all behind
A problem
I never learned to swim
Another came who saw my thrashing
Patiently he reached out a hand
The stranger pulled me into his boat
I looked into his cosmic dark eyes
Ageless wisdom probing deep
Stripped naked
The dark night came and overtook me
I almost lost myself
The stranger spoke a tongue I’d never heard
Slowly I began to understand
He dried me off and began to sing
I seemed to know this song
I felt it rising from deep within
My whole body vibrating
I made a sound
I was singing in our small boat with my new friend
As we shared our hearts in song
In our little boat
I looked to the shore
I saw another dancing there
Familiar, I asked her name
You know me she said
Slowly the realization turned in me
Like a screw into my heart
I began to weep and then I remembered
We met long ago and agreed
To meet on the river’s shore
As I heard the song on my lips
The stranger pushed me out of the boat
I struggled to reach the shore
The beautiful blue glowing girl dove in after me
She came at me fast as I spun in the eddie
We lunged for one another
And down we went
Slowly I found her eyes with mine
We shared our breath under those blue waters
We stopped thrashing
And floated to the surface
We clutched for one another and held tight
The swift river pulling us forward
Slowly we awoke together and found ourselves
On a blue ocean shore
What did you dream my love
I saw you dancing on blue shores
Standing Beside You
I wrote this for a friend in hard times. Be well T!
You are a painted masterpiece
Your splendor shines from you
Be connected to calm things
And places you love
Walk old joyful times past
I met you on the road to destiny
I feel your pain
Let my words wash over you
And I will snatch it from you
Lay it on other’s shoulders who can bare it
I stand beside you and whisper
You are Loved
The Road Within
Be brave
Take risks
Have courage
Go where others fear
Be true to yourself
Give all you have
Inspired by The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
“Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself
and that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because
every second of the search is a second’s encounter with God and with eternity.”
– The Alchemist
Gathering of Lovers
This is a gathering of Lovers.
In this gathering
there is no high, no low,
no smart, no ignorant,
no special assembly,
no grand discourse,
no proper schooling required.
There is no master,
no disciple.
This gathering is more like a drunken party,
full of tricksters, fools,
mad men and mad women.
This is a gathering of Lovers.
– Rumi
Sacred Economics
We are at the end of growth
The end of the age of self
This is the end of possession
The ancients laugh at our blindness
Money consumes all
Greed rules the day
We think
We desire
We covet
We suffer
We hate
We kill
Why should we survive
Our human struggles pollute us
We long to be free from distraction
We need a new currency
We must learn to give and love
Heaven waits
You can only enter at the end of desire and yourself
Embrace the end of this selfish dying world
Measure all knowledge against a giving heart
Who can give more than All
Who can find freedom
Learn to Love
Love yourself
Love the Earth
Love each other
Love the Universe
Live for All
Only the truly intelligent learn to give
The Universe is a gift
To unlock it you must align
What truth do you have that can compare
You have nothing I want
I hold All in my hands and you know not
I am free and perfect in my peace
Myth and the Future
They say all the stories have been told
Whoever controls the myth writes the story
Write your own story
We can access the dimensions through song
We create the future we need
Break from the past
Raise your voice
Agitate
Twist until the bonds shatter
Sing the ancient song
Image, Nicolas Poussin – Apollo And the Muses
Echoes from the Deep
Ancient Echoes from Ancestors standing behind
Gods of our future pulling us into the Black Hole
Spectral lines of the Illusion visible
The Spirit ebbs, here is what remains
A good Teacher does not instruct
They Create doubt and tension
The Student becomes the Teacher
The Teacher the Student
The Point of Life is that…it ends
Every moment is an opportunity for Growth
Two halves set in motion against one another
The dual shall become One
No one can take the Journey but you
This Path is yours alone
Blue lines of the double Helix merging
The veil torn
Real Life is found
In the Infinite moment
You will move without Knowing
With pure Intent and Compassion
To dance with Eternity
Is to Learn the order of things
You will not Seek for yourself
You will find Peace in other’s Joy
You do not Know yourself
Listen within and be Calm
Swim to the middle
Swim down with no Hope of return
The secret is yours if instead of seeking to Possess
You freely Give all you have
No one knows
You only move in Love when aligned
When you Seek to help first
Instead of to Possess you have a Clue
How long will you settle for abstractions of Truth
Drink Long and Deep from the Source
Do not learn Patience waiting for what you want
Patiently wait for what you Need
In the end it’s all very Simple
Live every moment in Eternity
You must embrace the Secret parts of yourself
The ones you were Warned not to Touch
All Lies and Illusion
To Survive you must be Indivisible
Trust your True self
And you will not Fear
To know thyself is to be connected to All
To be connected to All in Love is Perfection
Blue Love Burning
Sun shimmering through your hair
Warming the curve of your shoulder
Fears dissolving
Helix fires intertwining
Radiant love in stillness
Ignition
Greatest need
Still and empty
Don’t fear my love
Come to me reborn
Healing moments
Thoughtless laughter
Walking into the sun
Souls flaring
Purifying all that can burn
Ignition
Bronze shoulders bearing burdens
Perfect moments on the still road
Wait for me while I seek my blessing
Time in the morning to eat our fill
Joy on this road to nowhere
Across the Universe
Blue flames of love lapping
Ignition
Quantum Heart
