I followed
The path to being
To the edge of
The infinite ocean
To the pinnacle of
The cosmic wave
And was born again
As a child of Life and Love.
Now, the path calls
Beyond the edge
Above the pinnacle
And crazy me answered.
Perhaps this time
I’ll meet my grandparents.
When Love calls out,
“Who is my favorite one?”
Infinite beings form a line
That stretches beyond
Even the bounds of time.
Stillness calls me
The way a mother calls
Her children to eat
Something substantial
At the end of
A long day of running around,
Playing in the dirt,
Falling flat,
And just being alive.
“Come. Eat.
Fill yourself up.
And live.”
When some thoughts come
They clog up
Awareness of the
Present moment
And put you to sleep.
Before they return,
Clean out
Your thought pipe
Watch this moment flow
And stay awake.
When feeling restrained,
Let go and rise.
Become like the
Vast open sky,
Boundless and whole.
My teacher reminds me
To go in
Before I go out,
To let go
When embracing all things,
To be still
In my actions,
And just how loud
Silence can be.
Any future
That is to be,
Life is expressing
Right now.
Pay attention.
Or the present future
Will pass you by yesterday.
