the force of life

no one I have ever known
or heard of who has touched
Happiness through
thinking, intellect
or sacrifice. 
The river of joy
flows right here and 
no need of digging
sewer trenches.
The flowing happens
on its own and
the passage is clear.
Be empty as a child -
The force of life
Can find you naturally.

facts and figures

Don’t be content with
Facts and figures –
Nor talk about sweetness
Until it moves inside and 
Shakes you like an earthquake.
I don’t remember 
for how long I was gazing 
at the half moon last night. 
I was utterly lost inside
Her mouth.
My dear companion,
It is not the size or 
The shape that touches
us deeply.
It is the willingness
To make love to what is 
Real –
Your body changes
Every time I look at you.
But you are the same
You have always been
and will always be

underneath all appearance

Any outside experience
Is limited until you pierce
the crust, peel the layer
and touch the one that
speaks to your depth -
Then your compulsive need to
belong anywhere or to be with
Someone falls away –
You are the exuberance,
The music and the song
underneath all appearance.

ancient beauty

Last night
I took my daughter
to the playground in the mall
And watched how children mingle
Into each other and ignite the space
With pure energy.
The don’t ask each others names,
They don’t care to know what
nationality they are 
Or what tribe their parents
belong to. Inside them
there is an ancient beauty
that already knows itself.

love has no beginning

Love
Has no beginning or end
Only the ideas about it
End or begin.
When the sun holds
you in her warm smile
and says, 
beloved,
I cannot hide your
beauty any more –
and so I continue 
to shine -
Then you will realize
That you are not
Separate from the sun
As well as the one
Who is listening.

dump clothes

Someone who cannot recognize
his goodness,
Cannot recognize yours as well.
Don’t judge him.
Compassion is a universal
Song.
By being fully present.
You can be the sun
That dries dump clothes. 
after all,
You are this beauty
You praise every day
and night

beyond truth

there is 
Truth
beyond the truth,
emptiness within fullness –
the world is getting
more dense and more crowded. 
than ever before,
pause and look
at the toys 
you’ve been gathering
ever since you were born -
It is now time to make
room for what really
matters.

deepest statement

on the most intimate
Level,
there is no
Part of you that needs to
be fixed or replaced
with something else
They are the deepest
 statement
of the heart that only
sings of love.

let's shine together

I am drunk by
What is here -
stunned by
what wants to speak.
Please come
Join me.
Let's shine 
together.

a universal guide

As
As I was growing up
In the farm,
There was a bird
That sang a lot and took
Everyone she met to a
thick forest fragrant
with honey –
Dear friend,
don’t impose
anything on anyone –
Be a universal guide
and show a friend’s face
with a warm, sweet sun
in your heart

Be a friend of silence

If you want to be
Silent,
be a friend with silence
If you want to be 
drunk with love,
don’t walk away from
whatever
wants to grab
your attention-
if you want to be
a space inside the
song of life,
following a path
is not enough.
Be the path that
leads to a place
too sacred and too beautiful

to talk about.

living fire

One does not have
to sit with a friend to have
a meaningful conversation.
Deep conversation has never
stopped even for a second.
It is a continuous music 
That has no on or off switch.
Has the Nile ever stopped
from knowing itself, from flowing?
responding to its living fire?

fall into your heart

my life 
Is very simple and effortless .
I live in snowy and cold Minneapolis
and never wished i were in Africa
at this time.
I have never wanted to be someone else
than who I already am.
this is the courage that comes
to find you 
when you allow yourself
to fall into your heart.
