forgetting is the barrier

Every human being
has a capacity to
be whole again.
Only forgetting
is the barrier.

Small talks and chitchat

Why are you concerned
for not being good at
Small talks and chitchat–
this is what happens when
you meet everyone
as if they are the
the universe and the
sky and the oceans.

crossing the boundaries

How do you
know you are
a uniting and
penetrating and tickling
light of the universe without
crossing the boundaries?

be empty

Put down
what you are
holding in your head
and be empty-
the universe and everything residing
in the universe are coming
together to hold you with complete care
and the part of you that
claims to be abandoned and lonely
and restless can no longer
have power over you.

vitality and wonder

Don't look
in the mirror
to find out what
is wrong -
look in the mirror
to be marveled by the vitality
and wonder pulsing deep
in you being -
a robust wave of aliveness
bursting through your eyes –

Do nothing

Do nothing
is not to say,
be idle, sit around and
wait for the sun to come out someday
and melt the snow in your
sidewalk -
Do nothing means dropping the urge to be
on top of everything and showing the willingness
to walk with everyone to the ocean -
it means you no longer try to make
things happen because they are
happening on their own and it is
going to be alright -
it is letting go of control
and breaking open
into the flow of life -
it is to look inside without judgment
and realize that you are the entry point
into what can make the moon
round and sweet and wild.
