Other

What moves the world

Away from fear and greed

Toward compassion for the other

Only ourselves because…

We know loneliness

We know doubt

We know fear

We know pride

We know anxiety

From here…

We can stop searching

We can find patience

We can take a breath

We can take a step back

We can see the Self in the Other

Compassion is always the best choice

The Circle of Seeking

Understanding

Awakening

Liberation

Rinse and repeat

When you are ready

For freedom

Seek yourself

The way is hidden

Our lives are short

And can be beautiful

Leave it all behind

No treasure

No reward

All is Maya

There is nothing to do

And no one to do it

I know that I am nothing

But a cherry blossom tree

I know I am boundless

Now I’m free

Abundance

In the search
for enlightenment,
there is an ever-present
certainty that there is more to do,
someone else who holds the
secret, another state to
attain.

In the
finding of it,
there is the comical
revelation that not one
of those things was
ever true.

Desert Walkers

Dune-AWe free people have a saying

“God created the desert to train the faithful.
The foot on the hot sand leads to understanding.
One can not go against the will of God.

We blaze the trail for All
We will not forsake you
We will help you carry your burdens

We are a new breed
Who hears the star call singing
Something dark and deep stirs within

Ancient fears rising to block our way
Mystical signs guiding
As a Light to the lost child

We felt the pull
From our lives of captivity and want
Wandering now somewhere dark

We long for those left behind
Who have little hope
And fear we are lost forever

We righteous few
Will hold up a standard
For the rest to follow

Nothing for us in the sand
We carry with us what we need
Every blind step considered

We are compelled forward
For there is a comfort just beyond
The Oasis begins to emerge from the illusion

So many lost to fear in the old city
The sand is searing with many traps
We have marked the way for you to follow

Come out you All and join us free people
And claim your inheritance stolen
So long ago

Dawn Rises

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
