Would you dare
To let your truth
Fall into the
All-embracing arms
Of Life’s call to you?
Self-knowledge
We look for meaning now
But it takes time
To grow in the soil
Nourished by
Challenge and compassion
And tilled by
The Self that is Love.
Beneath the
Impulse to act
Is your
Path to being
And your
Greatest discovery.
When the dark comes,
Light awaits inside,
Behind the curtains
Of your Self-discovery.
Look deep within
Beyond the loud images
Of the mind.
See the Self
For what it is –
Emptiness full of Life.
Caught between
Deciding and moving,
My small self
Hangs on to
The phantom safety
Of a fragile solidity.
Letting go,
It falls into
The firm emptiness
Of Life’s momentum.
I am not a set thing
I keep flowing
Shifting and emerging
And every now and again
Solidifying in those moments
When life plays a chord
That is familiar
To a certain dancer
In the band of I
Who then takes center stage
For a while
Freestyles a routine
It rehearsed a million times before.
Perfect!
Yet, fit for another life
A thousand moons ago.
And just before
Launching into
The final sequence
It melts
Back into the flowing stream
Being danced
By a new
Unfamiliar tune
Sometimes I feel
Like my actions
Are slaves
To my thoughts
Then I wake up
To realize that
I am what pulsates
From the beating
Of Life’s heart.
Are thoughts
Running around
In your head?
The mind
Gives them feet.
Still the mind
And they’ll
Fall asleep.
Don’t accept
Don’t reject
Be the calm sea
Where Life manifests.
