Healing

If you love deeply,
Your heart
Has already
Been shattered
Into a thousand pieces.

Pick up the pieces
Place them
Into the hands
Of your
Most liberated Self.

It will not
Put the pieces
Back together.
No. No.

It will purify them
And send them
Out into
The world
To love a thousand souls.

P.S. if you ever want to put
The pieces back together again.
Don’t.
But if you really, really want to try,
I may know where one piece is.
It’s doing wonders over here 😉

Nature is pregnant

With a kinder humanity.

She will give birth

Any day now.

Don’t be concerned

About who the

Father is

Just take good care of her.

Today, I am high

On the breath

Of the earth

And grounded

In the mist

Of a new human birth.

Whether up or down,

Life is alive!

 

Whether for

One minute,

One hour,

Or one day

Sitting on our meditation cushion

Prevents violence,

Preserves lives,

And lovifies the

Human heart.

I tried to stop the mind from thinking.

What a joke!

As if I could stop the sun from shining.

These two are powerful forces of nature.

Neither good nor bad,

And often quite helpful.

When the mind is not,

The best I can do

Is to find some shade

Under the branches of mindful presence

And all-inclusive Love.

Nothing in this whole universe

Moves faster than

The speed of Love.

So, slow down.

Breathe.

Rest.

Love has already won.

I was on my way to the Light,

But ended up in the Dark.

I lingered there to find out what wisdom it had to impart.

It told me,

Life is the Dark that lives in the Light.

Live!
