forgiveness

It does not matter

How you look.

People are going to judge you

When you go out to the world.

It is not people who judge you.

It is the conditioned mind.

It is fearful thought.

This opens the opportunity

For you to extend forgiveness and love,

To send understanding and light

For the  ignorance directed towards you.

A thousand dark caves

gaze inside.

Speak from the place

Of no fear,

From pure emptiness

Where wings remember

 the purpose of flying,

Your words  will turn to

Cluster of milky ways and illumine

A thousand dark caves.

Each day we walk towards ourselves

Last night
You said you were out of  resources

and had no strength to stay awake .

Dear friend,

How about the thousand moons

You were born with?

How about those brilliant inner suns,

delicious like rosemary bread

Whose fragrance penetrates us

Each day we walk towards ourselves?

Out of innocent intention

Out of innocent intention,

A star slightly  touches the moon

And the entire sky goes on sweet fire,

 the winds  intensify their melodies and burst

with immense energy.

This is like  when eyes meet in the streets

And the oceans inside them roar and  expand

crushing all  boundaries.

close every book

recycle all instructions

 and counseling you have been given.

Close every book

You have read all these years.

Because the time has come

To open your heart

And love fearlessly.

It is time for you

I tell you
The splendor you are
Can deeply touch someone today
And It is time for you to go out in the
Street and shine.
If you’ve already noticed the world
Acting absurdly and insanely,
Knocking into each other in their dreams,
It is because some kind of hunger or thirst
Is hitting hard.
And you are the nourishment, my friend,

the bread for deep longing like this one.

You are the wine and fresh milk and

 It is time for you to go out in the
Street and sing.

diamond inside you

When you find the courage

To  take your clothes off

And stand naked,

The diamond inside you

Begins to sparkle.

sculptural design

Look at your body with no judgment

 or definition,

The way the sky gazes  at the earth.

What a perfect sculptural design!

The  elegance of your interior!

The perfection of your inner

Knowing!

I don’t dare to explain that

the inner radiance

You

Are the inner radiance.

You are light.

You are abundance.

The only time

You cannot love,

The only time you stop being kind

Is when you are no longer moved
By the forceThat guides the universe.

ground is breathing

You continue to experience pain because
you enjoy your forgetfullness.
Instead of seeing things exactly as they are,
You want to see them as they should be.
move beyond your feelings and listen deeply.
The ground is breathing so kindly
against your feet.

Like horses kept in the barn

Like horses kept in the barn forever,

I know you’ve countless questions and doubts.

But the great news is;

All of them will disperse as soon as

You break those enclosures and smell the winds

riding the forest;

as soon as you hear sparrows singing;

as soon as you touch the sweet hands

of the beloved .....

 as soon as you want nothing.

Now you and I are

Like  sand and water,

moving  easily into each other's

emptiy terrains.

centipedes and earthworms

 Someone I’ve known

Not long ago said to me that

He is being consumed with a feeling

of worthlessness and guilt  and  that

the world can do better without him.

I said to him: -

Look how centipedes  and earthworms

Insulate the ground in cold seasons,

 how the keys on a piano join to make

A great music.

Imagine what you are capable

Of doing.  The warmth inside you, if turned on,

Can melt the entire iceberg.

Look how a mint can naturally weave

perfume out of  Sunlight, waters and soil.

the return of spirits

Despite what is cooking out there,
we are being unstoppably pulled
into the orbit drown by the hands
of laughter.
This alone testifies the return of spirits
to the original beauty.

thousand rivers

Your heart is where a thousand rivers converge,
where you can hold a friend as yourself,
an invitation to drink from the milk of innocence
together. (Inspired by Sattie)

marry the mystery

We often want to know
Why this happened the way it happened
and why some lizards are green and some are brown.
But the way the desert speaks to the camels,
The way Oceans shelter crabs,
The way my arms stretch and fold
Is not separate from the language of the universe.
I once had the curiosity to ask
birds how it became possible for them
to fly with such perfection.
They said ,
You think so much, my friend
fall in love, marry the mystery itself
and move beyond the laws of the opposites.
The thing is,
Wherever we are not flying
It is the sky that soars within us,
for everything is inside everything.

Paths that cross

I have not seen
Paths that cross.
The ones I know
run deeper,
pour inside, before they erupt into
the sea of meanings -
That is how we all came
Here.

your questions

Let  your heart  be

Your crazy lover,  your residence

  as well as our neighbor ;

Then You  will be the answer

To all your questions.

voice of inner knowing

Heard a  tiger roaring  and

whirlwind blowing  in your neighbor?

No worries my friend.

It is a voice of  inner knowing

visiting to awaken the part of you that

Has been domesticated and numbed.

true intoxication

You can wander endless lands,

Cross deserts and see cultures

Drop identities only to pick up  new ones.

You might have seen happiness in many forms.

But my dear friend,

The real happiness, true intoxication

 and the organic meeting

Happens when you merge

With the beautiful one.

when God flows into God

When God flows

Into God,  Energy intensifies.

Move the way Light moves through

Tiny openings

Wherever you are

You’ve the capacity to be

The ambassador of love.

waiting room

Life is not a waiting room.

She is an ever-playing, ever-flowing

sacred music.

Get up and dance.

a place for dreaming

Why do we say
the world is a place for dreaming?
because it wants to spend its entire life
Trying  hard to add something  

To what is already sublime and
immaculate.

The most sincere service

The most sincere service
You can ever give yourself
Is to leave the one whose presence
Does not melt you;
The one who makes you feel
Unworthy and incomplete
So that you can experience love directly
as it pours from the sky of your chest.

beauty of the beloved

This morning
I looked in the mirror
Just for a brief second
And was utterly shocked,
Shocked to my root
By the beauty of the
Beloved.

All is divine

       Everything is sacred.
All is divine –
Even the areas inside us
That are deeply conditioned
Have once known light
As themselves.

love better

When you open  our eyes

Without assumption

As if that was  for the first time

 or last

Everything  you see

Shows  you how to

Move  inside light

And love better.

Ever since I felt this beauty

Ever since I felt this beauty,

I knew the sky exists.

I knew the moon is somewhere

 smiling softly

And I grew wings because there is nothing

I could resist.

 And there is no way

 I can stop loving.

touch your own essence

I don’t see anything  wrong

With being an outgoing person.

It all depends on what you really want.
If you want stories, go out and see
what happens.

If you want a meeting  with

A true friend,

If you want

to touch your own essence

on the most intimate,

most knowing level,

go inside now.  

roof of the sky

Last night

Before I went to bed –

The radiance on your face wanted

To turn itself into the sun energy

And dance on the roof of the  sky.

How far away

How far away

are you from silence?

How far away

Are you from the beehive

Where the bees once made love

And  roared and left then because

Their purpose is done?

Can you afford Separation

From this sweet thing?

 to be  far away  

from your breath,

from divine being?

those who listen deeply

It is believed that
God handpicks few people to 
Have a direct conversation with.
And those people are called the Saints
Or the prophets. 
The simple truth, however is
God speaks through everyone 
and everything all the time
Only those who listen deeply
can hear it. 
And most of all,
God is not separate from
all beings.

naked clarity

Don't be afraid 
to walk in the dark alone.
You can see the stars
with naked clarity.

new year's resolution

Let this be your new year's
resolution: -
to be more present,
to listen more and talk less
and know what you are -
to move  deeper and awaken the sun
in your heart -
and to love and love and love
more tenderly and deeply.
