Dear friend:- You're here finally and I bow to the one that brought you here. You're here because you chose to be here at this time. You're here to celebrate beauty through words we speak, through deep silence. We might call them poetry or songs or chants. It does not matter what we call them. What matters most is you're here. These words come through us like flowers come through plants, like the rains pour from the sky. May we all become the light we spread, the beauty we speak. Blessings.

soft and open
Love is the only thing
that does not require
any past experience.
It only requires you
to be available,
to be soft and open.
God laughing
why do you think too much,
my friend?
Why try to remember too much?
Let the mind be on its own
and practice stillness.
if you do that more often,
you will hear God
laughing from inside
your chest.
sound of the unheard
When rainfalls,
don’t talk. Don’t analyze
it. Listen. It is a sound
of the unheard.
Open your heart
and drink it.
Blessings is coming
down to drench your
parched soul.
to quench your cosmic
thirst.
when clouds are
tired of being opaque
and heavy,
they surrender
and fall into
the arms of
mystery for
whoever is willing
to die into mystery
becomes the mystery
Itself.
don’t edit your poems
don’t prune
your trees
don’t weed your garden.
don’t edit your poems.
Everything that emerges
is a sacred river flowing
within a river.
Have faith in the spontaneous
bursting of the unexpected
deep within you.
How peaceful are you?
Have time to investigate
your thoughts, your beliefs
and your ideas about life
and yourself -
ask the questions -
How peaceful are you?
How content are you?
How agitated are you?
restless mind can
create agitated
family members and
community.
precious gift
Many people
can bring you gifts
but those are rare
who can recognize
you as a precious gift of
life and a timeless
treasure.
rip your chest open
don't depend
on your guru's words
to be happy,
nor on the holy scriptures
nor on people's opinions about
you -
Rip your chest open
and see what is inside.
This will be beyond
what you can ever
imagine.
nothing to force
It is enough to know
there is nothing to force,
there is no button to push
for everything unfolds
on its own –
only be patient.
It is enough to be tickled
and caressed and particularly
be dazzled by the mystery of life.
to be secretly present
because to be absent
is to be secretly present,
to be still is to sing with the
deepest longing in your heart.
to be crashed is also to return
to the liquid miracle of existence,
to spill and gush towards the
true nature of your being.
don't ever hesitate to move
closer to the music in your
starving eyes.
you are activating
a clean signpost
in which a new silence
moves through.
even the darkest night
cannot cover this timeless
majesty.
dream and dreamer
Why pay attention to the
things that fall and rise?
if your only homework is
to awaken the dream and dreamer
inside of you, that will be the end
of all stories and the beginning
of true freedom.
invitation
Life is unstoppable invitation
calling your name like a songbird
at the peak hours of morning.
Instead of doubting it,
melt inside it. Allow
it with all of your being.
It is yourself returning
to yourself.
the source is meeting
with the source.
If you notice anything false
Inside of you, look at it
with eyes filled with love.
that will become real
again.
