on attachment

A friend said –
You talk about deep Conditioning
and attachment In your poems,
Can you tell me more about it?
It is like this –
You’ve a skill
you’ve learned for so many years
and you heavily depend on it for survival
and everyone knows you by what
you do and you are proud about it.
But something happens all of a sudden -
Your skills turn themselves into
a beautiful ceramic artwork and one day
they drop from your grips
crashing on the ground beyond repair.
You are now standing naked
and on your own.
What do you do when
this happens to you?
Do you embrace it as
An opportunity for a
new transformation
and self-discovery
or run around in great shock looking
for something to replace it with?

conversation with your inner light

External life
becomes of absolute
necessity only
when your conversation
with your inner light
is broken.

orchard of holy essence

There is a movie
playing in your mind –
Sometimes it is the same movie
Playing over and over again.
Sometimes it is a new movie
starting –
if you get involved,
it wears you down
making you feel
like a deer stuck in the mud.
Step away from your mind
and deploy your energy
Into the rest of your body –
Be still.
Your body wakes up to
this sweet vibrance –
and becomes anAnd you will know that
you are already what
You have been trying
to fulfill-

God is flowering

The universe is
budding Inside us
and God is flowering
and flowering -----
the more
we trust what we are ---
the easier we
move into
heart-space –
the way roots move
fearlessly where the ground
is tender –
divers are millions
but the ocean is only one.
Look very closely, dear friend.
Everyone you see
Is a pillar of the ancient love-
a soft fire made of
spiral galaxies-

vibrating aliveness

I was out
for my afternoon walk –
the sky was marveled
by the beauty of the sun –
He was simply drunk on her
deep, vibrating aliveness –

love does not have a container
nor a particular station -
it spills into every openness.

this is a kind of intoxication
we want with every single
breath in our cells –

tango of life

being simply who
you are
does not require effort. –
It has no tension.
tension emerges
when you try to make
something happen –
when you struggle –
when you resist dancing
to the tango of life.

directionless

beneath any discord or chaos,
there is deep harmony –
be confused, dismayed and directionless
until a path that leads into your
very center reveals itself.

let a sky be a sky

Pressure
Is a form of
strife –
let a sky be a sky –
let an earth worm -
be an earth worm  - ----
Kindness
begins
with allowing
everything to be
as  exactly it is -

fragrant waters

Some words are
like fragrant waters –
they surge into our deep
 longing secretly and
 remove  any hindrance
that prevent us from
singing with our true voice.

 

let surrender replace your doubt

The moment
you start being serious
there is something
 you are trying
to suppress –
you wanted to be in charge -
maybe you are hiding
your sweet nakedness –
How about if you just
allow things to be what
they are?
What do you lose if you
let go of your resistance?
You can only love better
When you return to your truest
State of being
dear companion,
don’t stop  your beautiful movements
Whether your eyes are open
or closed –
let surrender replace
your doubt -
faith will bring you to a place
Called home
Where you’ve never left –

 

 

 

for whatever has gone wrong

 in the past -
stop blaming someone
or yourself -
be empty of constant and
useless thoughts -
Be the sun that shines
when nobody cares to admire -
let your heart expand
and become a place
where the world is born
anew -
it is here we can gather
to share a moment
of bliss.

humans feel lonely

Humans
feel lonely
Only when
they  are cut off
from the treasure
hiding deep
inside them -

sacred verses

to a friend
Who asked me today
who we really are –
this is my answer to you -
you can find your own
answer in your heart –
we are sacred verses written
by sweet hands of God
and whoever recites these verses
pulsates with tremendous beauty -

eyes of a lover

The eyes of a lover
hold infinity ----
they drink sunlight
and convert it into tenderness.
Why are you so deeply in love
With the moon
that wanes and waxes?
There is something real
in your heart.
look how the trees bloom
in your presence.
The one who keeps knocking
on your door of love and the
One who opens it
is the same.

walls of separation

when
you discover a fresh, innocent
flower inside your being -
you begin to see the same
in everyone else -
that is the bursting and rebirth
of the sun beyond this sun -
the walk towards wholeness -
the awakening of the
eternal fire that could take down
the walls of separation.

meeting someone

meeting someone
 or a river
or an earthworm
 or a crow -
 is not an accident .
It is a sacred encounter –
Holy communion -
stop and bow
to everyone.

your job description

If you’ve learned
to live in fear,
being yourself could be very embarrassing
and you continue to hide from the sun
with your garment -
Let’s start over now
my dear friend.
look what is inside you -
your beauty is more than
your job description can ever say.
Let the beloved flow into
Your whole being -
Let your hearts nectar
pour into every space
Available.
Life is here to purify you
with her kiss.
don’t go away -

more diving into love

Your being here inside
my warmth
gave me the purpose
to sparkle infinitely–
The ocean
Said to a dolphin –
the dolphin was deeply touched.
she was encouraged
to be natural
and practiced more diving
into love -
Adam and Eve
are not two individuals –
they are different
dimensions of the
some person.

 

In the eyes of the world

In the eyes of the world
you’ve come here
 to play roles,
to compete, to survive,
to fight, to win or lose - -
in the eyes of great spirit ,
in the eyes of love,
you are here to be
just to be –
to be truly and effortlessly
 yourself –
to dance with the rhythm. -
of life and to be fearless
and  to know that
you are Home and
God is in everything
you see and touch
and smell.

what you are doing now

Do what
You are doing now.
Don’t be concerned
 with the outcome
whether what you are
doing is going to be accepted
 by other people around you
or whether  what you are doing
 is going to bear any fruit –
It is not the destination that is
Important. It is enjoying every single
Footfall and footrise in this moment –
Every single spoon you deep
In the bowl of now holds
the ocean of miracles.

 

Love does not know distinctions

Love
does not know
distinctions -
she touches whoever
is ready and open –
are you ready to turn
to what is real?
then you look
around or inside
and you cannot
find anything
that is not you –
you are a tree of life
where people gather -
you are a meeting place
for everyone -

starving together

this week
the mayor of the city
invited me to recite a poem
on their council meeting –
When we choose
to wake up together
Instead of starving together,
We glow like a crystal fire
and our inner knowing
turns wheat into bread –
don’t try to understand what
is happening –
the gift of this moment
is beyond the market price -

your true nature

discovering
your true nature does not
just mean to be at peace when
things work for you -
it is rather the strength and
determination to smile
when chaos surrounds you.

yes

Whenever
There is YES
In your heart,
whatever you do
speaks of the divine
wholeness.

roof of the sky

no matter what research says,
there is no shore 
around your elegance .
Time and words cannot explain it.
the column of light
rising in your being
can support the roof
of the sky -

movement of wild horses

winter came and left.
spring is here now
the clock keeps going around
but there is something in
you that is watching the
movement of wild horses,
the pouring of rivers
into the sea -
the sky sings of
eternal presence -
the earth moves
around your heart -
something
in you stands between
day and night
until they dissolve
and pour into one
cup.

an opening in the sky

Does
What you do align
With the energy of the cosmos?
Whether you are a school teacher
Or single mom or dental hygienist….
Do you vibrate enough?
Do you do it without attachment?
A conditioned mind says –
I’ve done this ……
I’ve accomplished that ---
I am better than anyone
in the neighborhood ---
kindness says –
I am just an opening in the sky
so that the stars could shine
through more brightly –
I am a bellow in the hands of
A blacksmith.
I whisper something into
the iron and it  moves beyond
birth and death  and becomes
eternal.

ready for everything

Love has planted
her entire flowerbed
In my being -
and now
I am ready
for everything
that wants to
emerge -

The garden of eden

You are being asked to choose –
Choose oneness with the universe –
Forgive . that is a deep cleansing
from past pain.
Instead of looking away
Look inside. The garden of eden
Is not in the Middle East. It is
deep in your breast.

expectation and anxiety

expectation and anxiety
don't improve relationships.
how can you dance
if you carry so much burden?
cut your sleep by half and
come to the place of pure giving
and infinite rest -
in the middle of the night
the moon hovers over your
neighborhood
to turn herself into you.

enter this fire

Attachment
to this known world
Is going to offend you
Anytime soon
because it is not
Complete.
Come enter this fire
and vanish –
whatever you do
inside this breath,
any movement
towards the full moon
is part of awakening -

Don’t rush to kiss the beloved

Don’t rush to kiss
the beloved -
let his-her glorious aliveness
envelope and consume you-
Be unafraid and disappear into what
Is truly real.
If love is an infinite sea of ecstasy
and if you are the source,
if you are the heat in the fire
What do you lose
when you love too much?

total emptiness

All I want for you now
Is your total emptiness,
your letting go of everything
You think you know
Until you can find the one
deep Inside of you that illuminates
eternally.

the warmth of the sun

The ego pays so much attention
on names, ranks and anything
that separates us -
Kindness feels the warmth
Of the same sun in the center
of all beings and smiles.

return to the beginning

Let the return
to the beginning
Start here with you –
Let the beauty in your
eyes guide your
way home –
Ministers speak
of the kingdom
of heaven on
Sundays –
children know it with
every single photon
in their being.
Allow them to be
your teachers.

the urge to know everything

Why don’t you drop the urge
to know everything
and figure out every mystery?
Your not knowing takes you
to a deep knowing -
a place where everything
groans with creative energy,
where the heart flowers
effortlessly –

a little kindness

f you
Practice
a little kindness -
a little companion -
a little love –
take a few minutes
a day and work on
your interior,
polish yourself –
cosmic consciousness
wants to see itself
through you -

nothing ahead of you

there is
nothing ahead of you -
there is nothing
behind you –
only this moment
is dancing in
the gardens
of your chest.
deepen your surrender
to this dance –

No more waiting

I have long
stopped rejecting.
I battle with nothing -
No more waiting
For a miracle..
I have left the gate of
my heart wide open
for whatever wants to emerge -
Now life has turned herself
into a waterfall of poetry
Pouring and bursting
from the field of endlessness.

passionate like water

by turning towards
your genuine calling,
You become passionate like water
and nourish rivers and trees –
you flow into every longing
Inside empty spaces –
a farmer becomes the seeds
he scatters in the soil.

following your senses

Following
yur senses and instincts
and thoughts
will only take you to
a place of great despair
because senses are
Subject to illusion.
There is something very
delicious and very intoxicating
beyond what can be seen
and touched and
and smelled ---

pulse of the universe

Things go wrong
when there is resistance –
When you are not ready
to see them as they are –
Come drink this love.
the only place where
you can experience
the pulse of the universe
Is here.

enter this fire

Attachment
to this known world
Is going to offend you
Anytime soon
because it is not
Complete.
Come enter this fire
and vanish –
whatever you do
inside this breath,
any movement
towards the full moon
is part of awakening -

Jesus and Buddha are not names

Any thing new ?
People ask me
when we meet.
I don’t have any words
to say to them. I gaze into their
eyes and become still.
Nothing gets in this moment.
Each morning comes
with a fresh perfume
I’ve never smelled
before –
the earth sings
new songs and the trees
are growing new leaves –
our body renews itself
constantly....
Jesus and Buddha
are not names
they are intoxication
of the hearts,
it is the end of confusion and
the bursting into
your true nature.

The way you dissolve Into God

The way
you dissolve
Into God
So easily -
Is a dance
everyone
wants to
watch.

wherever there is kindness

Wherever
there is kindness -
wherever
there is love
there is heaven –
why wait until
you die?
there is no
Such thing as
good luck
or bad luck –
I’ve only known
grace.

the bell of oneness

Acceptance
Is the key into
the hallway of life –
accept yourself
and everyone/everything else –
you bring a fresh depth
to the universe-
the waterfall of love courses through
you pouring into everything
you come in contact with.
winds scatter your perfume
in every direction blessing
the world with your gift
and in your heart the bell of
oneness starts to ring
with clarity.

all your are required to know

All you are
required to know
right now
Is yourself –
the universe
will take care
of the detail.

Whatever wants to happen

You think and worry
endlessly –
Whatever wants
to happen, will happen
and without any help
from you -

unrepeatable elegance

In the center
of your center,
you hold the seeds
of unrepeatable elegance –
why do you continue
to identify with pain
and suffering?

how close are we

How
Close
Are we
To each
Other
When
We perform
The task
Love has
Asked us
To do?

your rich aroma

If you are someone
who is afraid of getting older
and try days and nights
to fix it,
It is probably because
you are paying so much
attention to your appearance –
appearance is an illusion
because it changes constantly.
you are not the glass that
contains the wine. You are
the wine itself and when
you spillover, your rich aroma
confuses death.

the limits of the horizon

What you think
you really need in a given a time
and space is not of
absolute importance
because as soon as one need
Is met, another one will emerge ---
You cannot find peace until
You come to a place where
all your needs dissolve,
until the sun shatters the limits
of the horizon and shine
on your heart.

so much Softness

As I was
Coming from
my walk,
I saw a tree
opening herself up
to receive a warm wind
of the spring
And there was so much
Softness and deep
dissolving into each other-
don’t run away from this world.
don’t lose yourself to it either.
Stay here, right here –
Inside you
where lotus continuously
makes honey out of
Its own divine radiance.

one question

there is only
one question
that wants to
be asked -
Is your door
open to life?
Are you available
Now?
If your answer
is YES,
then nothing
Is impossible
For you.

fire In your heart.

Whenever you
are ready
a friend emerges
to ignite the fire
In your heart.

the power of your own beauty

the power of
your own beauty
can be witnessed
not from above
or below nor
from right or
left but from
deep within -

priorities

make these
your priorities -
to deepen
where you
are now
and to mirror
exactly what
passes before
you -

sunrise

a true lover
looks at everything
and everyone
the very same way
he gazes at the sunrise.

expectation and anxiety

expectation and anxiety
don't improve relationships.
how can you dance
if you carry so much burden?
cut your sleep by half and
come to the place of pure giving
and infinite rest -
in the middle of the night
the moon hovers over your
neighborhood
to turn herself into you.

a wild rainbow

Don't procrastinate.
the only real time is now -
and the only real place is here -
drop your concerns and worries
and united with love.
Let the heart become a wild
rainbow -
