Be The Change

“Silence is an ocean. Speech is a river. When the ocean is searching for you,
don’t walk into the river. Listen to the ocean.” – Rumi

Be here with me now
Fall into the mystery
Feel the nature of existence

Consume me
No middle
Deep ignition

To sense time
Is to be distracted
Recognize where you are

Stop seeking
The more you feel yourself
Blue fire consumes

Only when your words stop
Do you begin to glimpse yourself
See and know yourself in the mirror of life

Awake to the awareness of yourself
That which you see watching you
Is you

In the moment
No separation
No fear
Quiet
Calm
Peace
Reflection

Thought is driven by fear and desire
The flame burns blue in the moment
A cleansing fire

I took the photo for this poem today. It represents the evolution of myself and ourselves connected to all and the Verse, whatever it and we are. I spent the weekend exploring and experiencing my consciousness at the Science and Non-Duality 2015 conference in San Jose, CA with my love. If you have never attended one, I highly recommend it. It is not what you expect, I promise. It’s an experience with a little bit for anyone on any path. I don’t share that to elevate myself or reflect my great spiritual wisdom. I was gathered there through moving without knowing and I had some amazing interactions and realizations, confirmations and challenges, peace and tension.

I wanted to encourage you if you are reading these words to take chances and be willing to throw everything you know away in seeking the truth. Change your mental, spiritual and physical state…as often as possible. Be present and aware of yourself in the world and others and your connection to all. If you have been here reading my ramblings, know I share openly and freely with you my honest spontaneous thoughts, feelings and impressions about life. I hope you are creating magic in yours. Let’s keep the alchemy going. Be the change.

What Is My Religion You Ask

I seem to hear that more and more these days
And disappoint with my wayward ways

Could I have found the Truth I always sought
You All know how hard I have Always fought

In the end I want you All to know
I have found my peace lost so long ago

I wish you well on your way
And hope to see you another day

All you need to know about my Religion

Is that it came to me from within as a Dove
And that All I Am is Love

Blooming Flowers

Now is always here
The future is always on its way
The past has been

In the still moment you can know your place
Fearful and hopeful tomorrows always beyond your grasp
So let them be

Look at how the water moves over the rocks
Listen to the birds singing their song
Smell the sweet new life from the budding flower

Let feelings and signs point the way
You will know what to choose
And your best future will emerge

How can you be in the moment
If you are always looking for it
Wait for it to come to you

The future is just a probability
If your mind lives in the past or future
How can you be here now

Oh the bliss of not Knowing
Oh the bliss of Being
Oh the bliss of Now

All You Need

image“The lips of wisdom are closed except to the ears of understanding.
Listen to all, follow none.”

You have no need of a teacher

The only one you need trust is within

If you seek not for gain with a pure heart

There is something else to know about yourself

Nail your fears to the bathroom door stall

Leave the illusion of happiness behind

Easier said than done you say

Why don’t you come and play

And learn to sing this song

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

Sometimes It Hurts

Sometimes you may need to stand alone
Love can be threatening
How can that be
It hurts

Sometimes you have to follow the Light
Love knowing the pain in others
Hope that dawn will break
Never avoid the Truth

Sometimes you have to pursue
Don’t be a martyr
Always speak in Love
Take it

Sometimes you have to be the fool
Let the chips fall where they may
No longer live asleep
Always be true to yourself

Sometimes you have to be bold
The ones closest can have great fear
It comes from doubt
True love always stands beside you

Sometimes it hurts too much
How when a life is opening like a flower
Can they turn their eyes
Giving all seems not enough

Sometimes you have a moment of clarity
The path unfolds before you
Have courage and hold tight
When no one understands

I Love you all now like I never could

Always forgive
Always keep reaching
Always carry them
Always Be Love

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

onethroughlove

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
